Looks like they over-extended...
Do you have a lift kit?

Yeah but the shock is matched to the kit. The rod is bent.
Nevermind it overextended. Don't even know when I would have done that.

Maybe get a set thats a tad longer or has a wider bore/rod. Whats the stroke on that one? I'd try RockAuto for better shocks at cheaper prices.

I don't know the specs on these. They're what comes with the rough country lift kit. I never thought to look on there.

Will the skyjacker h7061 work? It looks like it should.
I know it's not mono tube but my budget just won't allow that and I'm not wheeling this thing.

I'm hoping it just flattened the bushing. I really hope I only have to replace the shock.

that is not from being overextended.
that is from compressing a shock that is too long for the application.
overextending will not bend the rod, it will just stop the axle from going any farther down and bring the tire off the ground, or snap the shock off the mount. .
compressing it after the shock stops travel from bottoming out will bend the rod.
