Default Adjustable shocks

Did a good bit of searching, didn't find anything on adjustable shocks at stock ride height. Only suspension change to the truck so far is the 2" drop shackles. I am looking for a good set of adjustable shocks that'll help me hook a little better. Suggestions?

Does relocating them to the rear of the axle just help with axle wrap? Or what is the benefit to putting them back there

lets the shock work the right way and not bind and be layed over almost horizontal when lowered.

You relocate the shock so that they are both behind the axle. The adjustable shocks will help give you more control over compression and rebound. You want both shocks doing the same thing. Let the suspension handle axle-wrap, and the shocks control compression and rebound.
