I know on car shocks, without a spring, they stay in whatever position you leave them. Like I can compress my car shocks all the way and they stay there without a spring to pull them back up

I wouldn't be surprised if my shock is blown, 8 years old and 43k miles, just seems weird it would lower my bike.

I guess I just need to measure my friends shock and compare to mine
your shocks are blown brother...when they're still good they extend on their own soon as you stop pushin it in.

Not without a spring...

I pulled brand new shocks out of a box and they were compressed inside the box... I had to physically pull them out to extend them


edit: I guess I should have added, I believe my honda's shocks DO extend on their own.. I guess they are 'struts' that don't extend on their own? All I know is my friends brand new ranchero shocks/struts wahtever they are for his jeep came in a box already compressed, and I had to pull them out to mount them

the spring holds the bike up not the shock .
