Shock Question

I put new front springs on ole' Bueford today. Talk about a front lift!! Kidding aside, it raised the front end up 1.75". The old springs were really sprung. Anyways, I put new monroe shocks on it about 6 mos. ago. I noticed that after I removed one of the shocks that it didn't "grow". I could physically push it up and down and it took a some effort, but the bottom half didn't shoot out like the other did. Is this a bad shock? Thanks.

With the new springs you should go with new shocks. You'll have a whole new ride.
