would there be enough strength in these to lift/lower the car if used on all 4 corners?

Air shocks can work very well on light weight vehicles, but lack some of the finesse of top quality emulsion/coil shocks.
One benefit is that you don't have to worry about what weight of springs to buy as you just alter the air (or nitrogen) pressure to suit.
Also, you won't require bump stops and you'll never bottom the things out.
