anyone have a suggestion should i use pneumatics of hydraulics steal a car jack cylinder or something. to pimp it out anodized aluminum leds and a fog machine maybe. any help with the piston problem would be appreciated we have the pneumatics and compressor from the 2005 season.

With some one standing on the back of the cart you first must make sure there is enough weight in the front to make sure the casters stay on the ground. on the lift i would use some thing pnuematic. For one it is less of a mess, lighter and safer in my opinion.
And make sure the fog machine isn't going to set off any smoke alarms that could get interesting.
