  Duh. Of course. However, the poster didn't say ANYTHING about GAS
  struts, besides, the gas in gas struts is to reduce foaming, not to
  support
  the weight of the car.....although to some degree they do.....and this
  can
  cause problems with springs and suspensions that are not designed
  for gas struts.....too high ride height......incorrect
  alignment.....etc.....
