Default Front Spring Sag correct with Shocks

Front springs on my 94 SS are sagging just slightly, car body has 218K miles. I have to replace my shocks also and was wondering if I could correct the sag with just installing Gabriel Load Carrier shocks? They claim it will put your car back to stock height in the event of Sag.

A shocks job is not to hold up the weight of the car, that's the springs job.

Yes I know that, but these Shocks have load bearing Springs on them capable of carrying additional 500 lbs of car weight. Was just wondering if anyone had used these before?

Strictly a band-aid. A good set of shocks just might solve your problem. Do yourself a favor,and stay out of AutoZone. The person giving you advice probably knows even less about your car,than you do. Find,and download Qalo'SS handbook. All kinds of helpful info. http://www.grail-ss.com/TechDocuments.htm scroll down to the handbook.
