Sorry they meant loose when it was on their lift. Nobody can seem to explain what the issue is. The ride with the new shocks is excellent so I'll leave them in and just add another spacer.

Doesn't make sense why it would sag because of shocks. Shocks don't hold weight, unless they're air shocks or either to tall or too short. Put a set of Denali or Z-71 springs with a 2" spacer.

Your old shocks were Nivomat Self-leveling shocks. They have internal valving to keep the truck riding level when you load up, and as such, they actually take part of the vehicles weight. The coil springs on there now are not rated to fully carry the weight of the vehicle. You'll need to return your new shocks (which in reality probably are the right ones, if you didn't have the ZW7 Premium Smoothride suspension [RPO code found in the glovebox]) and get some Nivomat shocks (Monroe does them best, about $340 a pop)
