Air shocks are not designed to lift. They are designed to aid the suspension to maintain the correct level. The shock mounts are not designed to hold the weight of the vehicle.

Can you pump up the shocks for over-sized tires clearance?
No. A standard shock doesn't lift, it controls the ride. They are not designed to lift and support the weight of a vehicle.

Why does a hot air balloon only go up when it is hot air?
Hot air is less dense then the surrounding air, meaning it's lighter then regular air, allowing it to naturally lift. If something catches that lifting air, and the air is so light that it can lift the required weight up, then it will lift. That's why a hot air balloon requires hot air to lift.

I know you can replace rear air shock on 1998 Mazda MPV but what is the part for the shocks that would fit?
I replaced the shocks on my '94 4wd with a Monroe air shock kit. Your part store will search out the right product number for you. I haven't hooked it up to the ALL (automatic leveler) yet, but just charged the sealed system to about 85 psi and left it. The same shocks will just hook right up to the on board compressor, but I left mine leaking for too long and ran the compressor ragged trying to keep up with the lift, and now need to replace that, too. So far they are working great and I have pulled a compressor from a donor car in a scrap yard for about $40 used, but havn't got around to installing it.
How much to replace shocks in a Cadillac STs?
Cadillac sts has air shocks wich are controlled only by a air pump, or a hidden air valve, which u can then pump air into it like you are pumping up a tire at a gas station. For each air shock it is around $140- and up. If you are thinking about replacing them due to not leveling out your suspension at all, check to make sure the air pump is on/working if not that would be the first step in getting them to work properly. If so your air shocks are probably worn out to were you got to replace them.
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.

Lift pushes the airplane up. The way air moves around the wings gives the airplane lift. The shape of the wings helps with lift, too.
