I got some shocks in a trade. The guy said its for 4.5-6 inch lift and said its perfectly normal for shocks to stay compressed when taken off.

I don't know if I believe him though.
Depends on the brand/style. But yes to some, as long as you can feel oil resistance throughout travel they are fine

Wel don't be surprised, it's rough country. Lol. I plan to use it as temporary so I can measure and order bilsteins.

How can I find out if its for appropriate lift though.

All rough country shocks I've seen ate like that. It's because they are just oil, no gas. Measure them, and Google. Someone somewhere has measurements.
