Again not Schumacher shock specific but over a very long time (months say) they do keep swelling up a little which causes more friction that normal which is why you should change your seals as a matter of course every few months say (some do it even more).
When I rebuilt my Losi shocks 1/2 way throughout the outdoor season and went from 3 month old Losi ones to new (soaked) Nortech Whities, the difference in friction (stiction) sliding them in your hand was very noticable.
