Don,
I've heard that said also, but frankly don't believe it. The purpose of
a shock absorber is to control the REBOUND of a spring. Most of them
have very little "dampening" or restriction on compression, when the
wheel is going 'up', but have a lot of restriction when the wheel/spring
is trying to extend.
A/S shocks are often mounted where they're kinda reclining, not straight
up and down, but gas-filled shocks can usually be operated in that
manner and will work fine.
