do a search on air shocks and you will see why that is a bad idea.

In this picture you can see between the exhaust and the fuel vent line where the crossmember the shocks mount to broke in half.

This picture show how ugly the bottom of the trunk pan is where the cross member should be. If you look closely you can see the screws a revious owner use to "fix" the problem.

And here we have evidence of what caused the damage. Don't do the air shock unless you want to fix a mess like this down the road!!!!
