air shocks....to do or not to do

As other have said......if they aint pumped up all the way they are useable...risky in my OPINION but useable. That being said I would not use them. Just replace the springs. Knew someone years ago that had them in the back of a Ford Ranger. He had them pumped all the way up....and was known to put 4000 pounds or so in the back of the truck. Was also known for shredding rear tires....and for the gigantic holes in the bed when BOTH upper mounts failed at the same time.....
