Bilstein make a really good shock for our trucks but I am in love with my Fox setup. You will get 1000 opinions on shocks but those will be two better options.
I was more talking about length of shocks since I have a lift kit.

Well in that case just match them to your lift. You have a 4" lift so go for a 4" lift shock in the flavor of your choosing.

Guys, Thanks a ton for your help here. I cranked the T-bars and what a difference! I cant believe 2 things...
1. The shop who did the lift (a 4x4 suspension shop) gave me the truck like this!
2. The shop I took it to (reputable guy who builds rock crawlers and again specializes in 4x4 lift and mods couldn't figure this out.
Im grateful it was such an easy fix and feel like a dork for not seeing this myself. Ill post pictures once I get the rear end blocked. I am 27 inches in the front and now the back is sagging at like 24 from hub to fender. Blocks, alignment and then to try to figure out why im only getting 9.8 mpg! Thanks again all!

Glad it worked out for you. Sounds like it is time for a good tune up to me.

Yea, after seeing how much thread you had showing on the T-bar bolts, it confirmed the axle angle problem. So you drove it like that for quite awhile? Regardless, I can't believe the shop let that truck leave like that....very unprofessional.
