ride height

Do shocks maintain ride height? I mean if your shocks are bad, will your vehicle sag a little? Of course they will not provide lift, but I was just curious.

All shocks do (conventional shocks) is dampen movement to prevent you from bouncing non-stop. The only exceptions really are coil-overs and special gas charged shocks. You'll know if you bought a set because your checking account will be empty.

Well that's pretty much what I figured. Just wanted to comfirm it. I'm pretty sure my front springs are sagging.
