Looks good. If the shocks are bad though it still shouldn't "tilt." The shocks are not load bearing. The springs are what supports the weight of the truck. If the shocks are bad it might ride like a hay wagon but it shouldn't tilt. Are the original springs still in it? It may be time to replace those too.

What I failed to mention was that as I was replacing the driver's side rear shock that the nuts on the U bolt responsible for anchoring the shock and supporting the leaf spring was quite loose and unfortunately rusted that way. Took a couple hours of penetrating oil, and impact wrench and a breaker bar to finally get it loose enough so that I could back off the nuts a bit and then tighten them back up.
And yes... I purchased it a few months ago.
