where can i find shocks to lift a car for 22 inch rims?
You need to determine exactly where the leak is. If you can't do that without doubt, call someone who can or a plumber. If it is just the connection leaking it is a simple, inexpensive fix. Once you determine the cause, decide if it is worth fixing, if the unit is several years old it would be best to replace it with a newer more efficient one. Good luck.
Shocks don't lift a vehicle. That's done with springs.
Shocks are for controlling the motion of the springs. The springs set the ride hieght and bear the load of the vehicle. Shocks are not designed to hold weight. Air shocks can help level a car like on a Cadillac but those are special built units. So to lift the car for 22in rims you must change the springs. changing the ride height will change the drive shaft angles, and steering component geometry. So good luck with your project.
Air shocks is a short term fix. Short term like for a week or two, cause if they lose air, your tires and rims will be toast, along with the possibility of your car. You need to raise your vehicle, either by a body lift (doubt you want to do that) or a suspension lift. If you have a vehicle with leaf springs in the rear, you can use blocks like they do for 4x4's or lowriders. As for the front, you will need to find out if someone makes lift spindles (I highly doubt it) or have someone custom fab you spindles, a-arms, and whatever else is needed to raise your front end. Either way, I wouldn't suggest going over 3 inches because of driveline/tranny problems that could occur. Unless you can afford the vehicle to be raised correctly, I would get smaller wheels or a different vehicle, as you will end up paying more in the long run for someone doing a half-a** job.
One of the two copper pipes has corroded and is leaking. Turn off the water and replce the bad copper pipe. All you need is an adjustable wrench and some teflon thread tape.
