Default Gst shocks question

Hi,just wondering howmuch weight a set of four gst big bore shocks could carry,not worried about jumping,just about sagging since my custom truck weighs about 16lb.
Also if the shocks would sag alot is their any springs with more resistance then the stock white ones?
I have also notices that the shocks have like an extra part on them them,is it just for looks?
Thanks.

Great is your savage lower then normal becuase it is sagging or becuase the shocks are shorter?

Edit:Also i found these springs for the gst shocks on ebay,they have 8.5ppi of tension,would that be ok for my application,howmuch ppi does the stock spring have ?
