Air shocks were originally designed to level the rear of a vehicle when hauling heavy weight. No one disagrees with their usage there. Using them as intended puts the same loading on the upper shock mounts as using them for jacking up rear of the car. I’m not proposing you put 150psi in them and drive around. I only have 35 in mine to get 1-2” lift. Not “terrible in every way” and my car handles nothing like “ a dump truck”.
