Yea, the seals get hard and start leaking internally.

sometimes just using them will soften the seals again. My master cylinder was the same way. I just kept working it, and it's been fine ever since.

just set them at their stiffest setting. The short shocks do ride differently than the stock shocks because they have a lot less oil in them.

the oil has probably settled on one end, should run back after they are up right for awhile and the air gets back out
