No, the suspension needs springs, the shocks are there to damp the springs so the car does not bounce up and down after it hits a bump.

What are some ways to raise the back of my 95 camaro?
simply just replace rear shocks with air shocks or put spring lifters on the springs
Can you just replace the shocks?
If you have worn Struts on a vehicle, those can be replaced without replacing your springs. "Struts" and "Shocks" are often used interchangeably in language, however, I believe your vehicle is a front wheel drive with a double wishbone suspension. In this case, they would be more accurately referred to as "Struts". Just for reference. In either case, the answer is still, yes. Shocks/Struts can be replaced without replacing the springs as well.
How do you change the shocks on a 2003 Kia Spectra?
That Kia doesn't have "shocks". It has struts, front and rear. They bolt in but you will need spring compressors to swap over the springs and hardware unless you purchase the struts "loaded" with new springs and hardware. Loaded struts cost aprox double what just the strut alone costs.

Chassis dynamics are just simply about exchange of discussion between different persons. Its main topic is about, what are the best springs or shocks are there for the motorcycles.

What would be a good upgrade for a 1995 dodge neon that bottoms-out on every bump in the road?
Move or drive around the bumps then Check to see if you have any broken or weakened springs. If so, replace the springs. If the car is just carrying more load than it was designed for, get some load leveler springs or air shocks.

Where is shut off switch for air ride on a 95 Buick Riviera?
1995 Buick riviera is not equipped with "air ride" type suspension. It is, however equipped with air shocks and coil springs. The air shocks are filled by a compressor in the rear of the undercarriage just in front of the gas tank. If you have an air leak, replacement of the air shocks and/or line kit may be in order.
You have a 98 4x4 blazer and the front of it leans to the drivers side about an 1 you have already changed all of the shocks with no improvment the front end doesn't have coil springs what could it?
Shocks do not hold up the vehicle, they only keep the wheels from bouncing when you hit a pothole. The front suspension will be either coil springs or torsion bar. Some torsion bars can be adjusted, others just need to be replaced.
Can a 31x10.5 R15 fit on a 2000 Blazer?
Blazers had the option of the zr2 package, which came stock with 10.5x 31 r15. So yes, what I've read rims are different(width/back spacing) and they had HD shocks, just might need to check if the front springs are different rate/longer. If they are or yours are worn, new springs/ lift bushings/leveling shocks or blocks might be needed
Difference between shocks and struts?
Shocks are just that, shocks. There is already a suspension system in place and you add shocks to it. The shocks can be replaced easily.Struts have part of the suspension andthe shocks included in one assembly. The struts have to be disassembled for access to the shocks.
How do you replace rear shocks on 1998 eclipse?
to replace the shocks in a nut shell, take off the rear tire, buy a spring compresser and compress the springs, there is bolts that hold the shock in, take those out, one at the top and one at the bottom, after that pull the shock out with the spring, and put it back together just how you took it out.
