Unloaded pretty much anything you can throw at them. In a Magnum packed to the gills with boxes of unbuilt IKEA furniture they do pretty well at keeping the ass end from sagging.
How much can nivomats take?
Does anybody know how much the self-leveling shocks can handle? I don't want to push them over their limit. They feel pretty stiff but I've been going over speed bumps carefully because I don't want to push them too hard. It's not that too much weight in the car but I'm wondering if anybody has any information on just how much they can handle? Both by weight and are they going to be able to handle going over speed bumps and things at speed? I know the cops use them so

I just don't want to accidentally give them too much. Not loaded with anything by the way but I just don't want anything like bad roads to be too much for them
They're self leveling. It should be noted that by 2009 the SRT's weren't using them anymore.

Do you know a lot about them? I had two things I'm trying to figure out
The first is that on one side it seems to be slightly less stiff. Think they both still work but one side is incredibly stiff and nice and the other despite still self-leveling seems a bit softer and the car tilts a bit more on turns
So I'm not sure if maybe they can break in or what might be going on.
Might be worn. I usually have no problem compressing a normal shock but I struggled to compress a nivomat. Nothing lasts forever lol. When I put the SRT suspension into my 06 R/T I got rid of them. The spring rate and shock valving for 09-10 SRT Chargers was increased to offset losing the nivomats. Not sure if they continued for the R/T's those years.
It's just strange because when I first put them in they were both really stiff and then seemingly out of nowhere the one side got slightly softer literally just 1 hour to the next. I parked it got back in and suddenly it was slightly softer. Even though they both still adjust to the right heightMight be worn.

Are the SRT shocks good? Where would I even get that suspension? It's not very common for a SRT to end up in a junkyard
First place to look is Cleveland PAP. They junk those cars so they regularly have take-offs. Once I found out about the 09-10 differences I looked up part numbers. Now that I'm looking you haven't actually said what year you have.
