Default 97 TXT Shock Questions

I have a 97' TXT that I am in the process of restoring form the frame up. Actually, I got 2 carts for $300. I am robbing parts from both to try to make one operating cart.
My question is: I removed the front and rear shocks to sand blast and repaint the frame. I was surprised by how easily I could compress and extend the shocks by hand. Is it normal to be able to move them by hand?
Thanks for the help!

So I guess I don't need to replace them? Getting ready to sand them and repaint, but not going to spend the time if I'm going to have to replace them anyway.
Thanks!

They're only 18 years old, they probably dont need replaced.

I have an 02 TXT and it is stiffer than stiff, I use it for golfing (I know surprise)and every little bump all the crap on my dash goes flying. The rental carts at the club dont seem as stiff.
