Shocks Without Springs, How Much Resistance?

[awsam]

Heya, I'm trying to get second hand shocks put on my 33 quikly as im a) Broke and b) Have shocks on that are to short, need to drive to work y'know heh.

So i've had a look at some second hand shocks without springs and found there's almost no resistance when I push the rods in. Seems like this SHOULDN'T be the case, and when my mechanic was demonstrating my rooted stock shocks he took off he was able to move the rod in and out without any resistance what so ever.

Obviously I don't know TOO much about this and a forum search didn't yield an accurate answer.
