How to make Hover Crafts?

I was experimenting with the hover tech using sideways wheels back then but now it seems to not work. Any recommendations?

    The damper suppresses the suspension. If the damper is low then the suspension will continue to vibrate and wobble for quite a long time after the original compression because there is little to dampen the effect. If there is a lot of damper then the spring will be quite stiff after the original compression because the spring is heavily dampened. @Ryn176

    @Rodrigo110 How does the Damper effect the wheel?

    That sounds cool.
    But:
    WHO CAME UP WITH THE IDEA THAT THE WHEELS DO NOT HAVE HITBOX FOR BLOCKS???
    I literally want to kill the developer when I was trying to create some TRACKS and things EXPODED and not work
    and ALL fuslage block have SQUaRE hitboxes. Hate that.

    Use a resizable wheel, then put it on the side of the hovercraft and scale it down with fine tuner or overload. The wheel is scaled down but it’s physics remain the same and it gives the impression of hovering. Putting the wheel at 50% suspension strength and 100% damper also emphasises the hover effect when this technique is used.
