Ummm, no. I have never seen a conventional shock in my entire life that could actually support 600lbs (average weight per wheel that a shock would have to support in order to affect ride height), I can compress most shocks with my bare hands....or maybe I am just way more badass than I previously thought. If the shock makes an impact on ride height, something is terribly wrong. They also work nothing like air shocks which have a separate air bag for supporting weight.
