There are no hydraulic lifts- that's slow-speed low-rider stuff. Hall Pantera sold (maybe still does) a pneumatic cylinder lift kit for air-dam Panteras that was a pair of air cylinders about an inch in OD X 12" long and hooked between the upper frame and each lower front a-arm. A small on-board air compressor filled the cylinders (dash switch) and lifted the front about 2" to get past speed bumps, steep driveways etc. The tankless system took about 2-3 minutes to pump up the cylinders and lift the car as I remember. They didn't hold air pressure very long unless you added a reserve air tank & valving, so except for the extra weight, they didn't seem to affect handling. I haven't seen one in use in decades. You could probably gin' something up locally in your part of the world.
The ramliftpro and KW are both hydraulic lifting systems and are very quick. The lift times are at or below 4 seconds with the latest pumps. The KW units are ones used on high end cars like Lambos and Ferraris. The last one I've seen was on a Mbz SLS AMG sold though Renntech.
I have not seen a RamLiftPro kit or KW installed on a Pantera. RLP sells only a universal kit and KW sells both a universal and model specific kits. Both sell a front only and a 4 wheel lifting system. KW kits are 3 times the cost of a RLP system. Both use a lifting ring that is only 2.5" OD so neither will work on a Pantera with factory coilovers.
Good luck on your search. I've been wanting to install one of these systems myself as I am not a fan of airbag systems.
