Gas Shocks

[409T]

Gas "filled" shocks are like the ones we normally use on our suspensions, if you compress them half way and let them go they will stay in that position, and gas "charged" shocks are the ones that resist compression, and when you do compress them and let them go they spring back to their full length. Do I have that right?
