Isolation platform using hood shocks?

Had a bit of a crackpot idea; perhaps it's already been done by a DIYer.

We've seen those expensive pneumatic vibration isolation racks.
But how about using automotive hood shocks (also these can be found in some car seats) as supports on 4 corners of a shelf or platform? These shocks come in various weight ratings. I imagine the rod end can be threaded to accommodate adjustments, too.

Just throwing the idea out there...
 
Shocks are for damping, and you usually want only the tiniest amount of damping in a turntable isolation platform. Are you thinking of some other application?
