Shocks and ride height?

They wont lift it at all. First, the stock shocks are probably gas charged as well. Secondly, the pressure doesn't lift. it simply keeps the oil from aerating.
Install a set, drive around for a day or two and measure ride height. It will not have changed.

My OEM shocks had very little pressure, no they were not worn. The Bilsteins had serious pressure requiring nearly all my strength to push each one up and on the mount. If you ever lifted on a bumper you would know that you can raise the vehicle a bit, now multiply that times four. Just stating a simple fact, accept it or not. Note that I did say "a tiny amount."
