<VV> shocks

[Les]

Modern shocks are gas charged and will have tabs to hold them compressed. Older style shocks are solely hydraulic and will stay in whatever position they are placed. If the ones you bought  are supposed to be gas charged shocks, then they are no good. If they are hydraulic shocks, then they are likely fine.
