Maybe the shocks were bound and the being stretched out a little (while lifting the car) and also the car dropping down may have loosened it's internal mechanism? Although I can't imagine it being more effective than any of the pot holes I have driven through over the last 4 months ... But then again the whole front of the car while driving is never OFF the ground.. SO maybe?
there are no internal mechanisms in shocks really, there are 2 chambers and a certin amount of fluid, and the fluid squeezes thru a small hole from chamber to chamber. but the hyper extension of the shocks may have lubed the shock back up, and made them softer again. if you replace them with adjustable shocks, you can fine tune your ride.
