Rear shocks dead?

[YuCanada]

Hi guys,

I got my 01 hoe lifted in September with 6" rough country lift and it was done at a shop. I drove it a bit, but it's been sitting for around 6 months.

The rear is sagging really badly, the bump stops are almost touching when the truck is on level ground.

Could it be just the shocks that are dead? I'm not sure if they were included with the lift. I don't think so.

I can snap some pictures in a bit if need be.

Could be but I've never seen this on a lifted vehicle before.

Pretty sure the lift came with new coils, so that feels like the only logical explanation because they were shot before the lift..

How's the ride? I know mine looks like yours but that's because my spacer isn't tall enough in the rear. Hopefully will, resolve this issue soon.

Ride is rough ish if I recall. It's been a few weeks since I've driven it.. I might go check out a shop sometime this week

Just ordered new bilstein shocks, and thought while I was at it why not get the fronts too haha.
