That depends on the "rating" of the shock. A shock with a 50/50 rating (which most normal "street" shocks are) is going to have the same degree of force required in either direction. We used to buy 90/10 shocks back in my old drag racing days. A 90/10 allowed the front end of the car to lift with minimal resistance (under acceleration) as weight transfer shifted toward the rear. The "90" part of the rating came into play with the nose of the car starting it's eventual travel downward....the increased resistance helped to extend the time that the nose remained elevated to help maintain the weight transfer toward the rear.
OR.........your shock(s) could be history. DD
