I believe you can. These are essentially Gabriel Hijackers. If you look at the picture of the product, you'll see the "T" fitting. You would run the air lines from the air shocks to the "T" fitting. You would drill a hole in the trunk, or somewhere convenient, for the "T" fitting to mount. You would then use an airline with an air chuck to install air into the system, like filling a tire. If you have a factory air ride type suspension, then you will need to disable the system.

I think you could hook them up to a manual air supply or override the onboard controls and do what you want. I have used air shocks with a manual fill before and it worked.

I put them on a 2004 Buick lesabre which had factory gm air shocks on the rear with a built in air compressor on the right rear to keep the level if your cadilac a compressor unhook it the air shocks will go higher when you use the lines the come with the shocks qand drill a hole in the trunk for the tee .

This is my boyfriend's response.Yes. The answer is yes.They must be installed by using an external air supply. Also my front suspension is not an air suspension so the front must be changed to handle that size rim.

I believe the kit comes with a manual schrader valve so you can use it instead of the automatic level control on the car. However, before you try that you may be able to adjust the ride height at the load leveling sensor and still use the onboard compressor. If you look under the rear of the vehicle at the lower control arms you should see a small rod about an 1/8" diameter connected to one of your lower control arms and a lever which is connected to a small square box, the height sensor. You may be able to adjust the length of the rod enough to make the car "think" it is setting to low and raise the back of the car.

Yes Daniel I put these on my 04 Deville no problem every so often I add air to get the offset look. Hope that helps

honestly i haven't mounted these yet but I have done them in the future. deflate old tire and break bead, use two large screw drivers to work the tire off the rim. and do the same when putting the tire back on the rim

I have only used to air up tires and it requires recycling frequently.I don't use it with air tools but think it might be too small over the long haul.

I was not able to get them to work for my applucation. Air leaked out of the tire when I tightened them up. Some comments suggest that they are intended for tire inflation only.

When i had my sportster they did bottom out when they were completely lowered. They come with the tool to raise them up. I never bottomed out once i raised them. I just got these for my dyna and am not sure if they will bottom out, but i think they will be ok if i raise them for the passenger

Not if you have factory rims. I have after market rims that can take that size tire.

I have the same issue. I can put air into my bicycle's tire. However, much air escapes when I unscrew the connector. My manual also says the adapters included are not for tires. It is really bad that the picture here shows that it is for auto tires, but they do not include adapters for auto or bicycles.

No.. it won't put out enough air. Perfect for air shocks, but you are better off getting a small portable air compressor for tires.

install on rear undercarriage as high up as you can away from tire splashing

My tires are the same. I have these and there is room between the wheels to use them.

I'm not sure how much you are going to lift your jeep but I installed my tires on 8" centered wheels because I wanted the extra stability and a better ride. You can use your stock wheels but why lift if you are not going to compensate with width? This move is dangerous because center of gravity is also lifted making it easier to roll. It has nothing to do with the tires because the tires are great, excellent as a matter of fact. I would highly recommend them.

Not sure if you can? A tire with a higher ply count will help for sure. Guess you put tire slime in them, but thats only a quick fix at best.

There is a raised section under the bottom about 1/4 inch less than wheel height. No advantage to removing wheels.

As luck would have it, I have my car up on them right now. I have the 56" 2 piece ramps with the extenders. I measured from the wheel centerline to the back of the front piece at 20". So the stands would have to be quite a ways back. But then, you'd need to jack the vehicle up high enough to raise the tire off the ramp, anyway, and at that point you can just pull the ramp out anyway (which is what I've done).

I don't use it for that, but my guess would be no. I have seen other people say it doesn't work well with knobby tires. Maybe swap out the rear with a balloon tire?

you could just use your hand.....howver your hand gets tired, isnt always available, and tires out.....it's not like there very expensive anyhow. just my .02
