Are my shocks gas filled?

[Preston1997]

okay so i made my rear shocks into coilovers but im not sure if theyre gas filled or not
Once theyre pressed in the dont push themselves up. nether of them go back up. so If i went with gas filled shocks would it be less bouncy?

Sounds likeverything they're dead, they would extend if they were in good shape.

Almost all shocks are gas charged by one method or another And so should extend If unrestrained.

Did you install cartridges, or just install perches on the existing struts?
