i wish i had pictures of the car before i put shocks on it, but if you look at my sig, imagine the bottom of the fender being in line with the top of the white wall on the tires. that is how much higher it is now.
i have had these shocks on for about 6-8 months now and it hasnt gone down yet.
i still think that shocks are load bearing.
it took a LOT of pressure for me to compress them so i could get them in to place.
i used gas charged shocks so that may be why.
still, if each shock takes 50-60 lbs of pressure to get in to place, then naturally they will push up on the car with 50-60 lbs, and add up to supporting ~200 lbs of weight.
