They are designed to be used only as a temporary aid—up to the vehicle's rated GVWR—and do not change the vehicle's factory payload rating. With an adjustable range from 25 to 200 psi and a paired load capacity up to 1,100 lbs, these shocks are built to give drivers more control over sag and stability when carrying extra weight in the rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these air lift shocks help when towing a trailer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a trailer or heavy cargo pushes down on the rear of the vehicle, the ACDelco air lift shocks let you add pressure to restore ride height and preserve the vehicle's intended suspension geometry.
