They did seem to compress with out binding.
The death wobble has been "solved", as in it doesn't do it any more. Nothing was done besides putting it on the lift. But lifting it and letting the suspension droop solved the death wobble. I had recently installed delta vs arms and new oem...
I'm trying to figure that out. I took it to the mechanic to diagnose a death wobble. He couldn't find anything super obvious causing it. I thought it might be leaking shocks, the bodies are covered in oil. The mechanic put a straight edge on each shaft and you could see a light gap on each...

I lifted a corner of the truck with a forklift, but I was nervous and think I didn't get high enough. I had almost an inch before the rear bump would contact. Rear tire was 32" off the ground.
Rear shocks :extended 28 1/2" from bottom of top shock mount to center of bottom mounting bolt. 18...
No coil spacers, no relocated shock mounts.
Stock coil bumps still in place. 255/85/16 tires.
I'm using the bumps supplied with the slinky kit.
I will try and get measurements of the shocks tomorrow. What would the best way to do that? If I lift one tire all the way up with a fork lift will...
