No. The shock absorber mounts are not designed to hold the weight of the vehicle.

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
What can cause your back tires to dribble while driving over certain areas in the street?
Bad shocks. Your springs buffer car movement, but your shocks dampen spring action. If not for shocks, the springs would allow the tires to bounce and leave the ground (or dribble).
Do all 1995 town car with air ride suspension has shocks?
The shocks on the Town car are actually regular shocks front and rear and are separate from the air springs. They are fairly inexpensive. The rear has air springs rather than mechanical steel springs. Do not mess with them if they are working. Replacement air springs can be purchased from http://www.arnottindustries.com/ for around $100 each and they will last for another 10 years. If you can change spark plugs you can change an air spring. Arnott gives detailed instructions. Don't be afraid of the air suspension, it is much superior over the steel springs.
Does a 2002 buick lesabre have air shocks or springs?
Lesabres only have air suspension in the rear, they will be a combination of air shocks with a coil spring on the lower control arm.
Should you replace front coil springs on 1997 Ford F150 when changing the shocks?
No , unless the spring is damaged
Why is my 1975 Chevy c20 truck lower in the rear on the left side is that shocks or springs?
That would be the springs as long as the spring brackets aren't rusted in half.
Rear coil spring what is it function?
The springs in the rear support the weight of the car, and give it a smooth ride along with the shocks.
How do you lower a 4 wheel drive ford ranger?
Smaller and stiffer shocks/springs on the front, remove a leaf spring or 2 on the back and get stiffer shocks/leafs back there as well.
Will shocks and coil springs from a 2006 Rubicon fit on a 2002 Sport model?
Yes the suspension is the same, they will fit. The springs have a higher rate and are therefore a little stiffer, as are the shocks. They will probably lift it a little due to the old spring being sagging from use.
Are new shocks required for a 2 inch spring coil lift on a 2003 jeep wrangler?
Not necessarily. From what i understand, though, if you decide not to get shocks to accompany the longer springs, your ride quality will be a sloppy mess. If you have the extra cash, it would be best to get shocks that have more travel.
What parts do you need to fix your shocks and struts on a 01 4 door civic ex?
First, get new shocks and struts...on that vehicle, not entirely sure, but probably struts in front and back, no shocks. Check for coil springs in rear. If rear springs are coil, then struts. If rear springs are leaf, then shocks. While you're at the parts store, rent or borrow a coil spring compression tool. You'll need to compress the coil springs to remove/reinstall new struts. Other than the compression tool, standard garage mechanics tools will do the job.
Does a 1999 park ave have air shocks or struts?
They have air shocks in the back that are used for ride height control. This is not the same as an "air spring" system. They have regular rear springs and the air bladders in the shock are only pumped up when there is significant load in the rear, to prevent the rear end from sagging. This is a very simple and reliable system. Monroe makes great factory replacement rear air shocks and they are cheap too.
