More details are needed.

Did you replace the front struts with non-air struts and coil springs?
Did you replace the rear air bags with metal coil springs?
The Gabriel Hijackers are rated to carry a maximum of about 200 psi if
memory serves me.  Normally you shouldn't need more than 25 to 75 psi to
achieve level ride height.

Is there anything else you can add to what you've told us already?

Hi all i tried this on my 90 imperial i installed the said air shocks pumped
them with air and got 50 psi with no lift i thought maybe they were bad
shocks
so i returned them for a replacement pair which reached 160 psi with no lift
then a pop and they dropped down to 30 psi the shocks call for a psi of 25 -
200 psi any clues?

Mary Lou.  Unfortunately the air ride system on these cars is cost
prohibitive to repair.  the best solution I've come across is to install
standard gas struts in the front of the car and air shocks in the rear such
as the Gabriel Hijacker shocks.  You can plumb the air lines into the trunk
area for convenient manual ride height adjustment.  Automatic ride height
adjustment is not impossible, it is just far more complex and in my
experience, is not necessary.
