My truck hooked better with worn out stock shocks than the bilsteins I have now. With the worn stockers, the weight would transfer front to rear and plant the rear tires, now there is little transfer, the bilsteins are stiff.

I agree Afco will build you a set of shocks that WILL work.
Coilovers would be best but they can valve reg shocks too. They need a couple of measurements and the weight over ea wheel or axle and tell them what you are doing with the truck( like weekend 1/4 mi) or whatever. You will be impressed.
