Your shock probably are gone. 20's are bad for a suspension's health.

Please provide more details like the year of your car, offset of wheels, width of wheels, size of tires, etc. These are important facts that help determine how much trouble you will have fitting them.

He already had them on, they fit.

But, the fact that they probably weigh nearly twice what the OEM setup weighs has killed his suspension.

Does it hurt to have this info in order to make a more educated suggestion?

Well, he said they were 20's and that should really be enough info. 20's are way too heavy for our suspensions to handle.
