Anyone else have replacement shocks they could post pictures of the gears? I would like to document this for Captain Z CNC. He has never seen anything like this before.

The numbers from the bottom of the shock tube would confirm this. I would think it possible to maybe contact Bilstein if you have the numbers from the shock tube to see potential options. I'm sure "The Captain" has contacts and could work with the information on your shock tubes. Snapshots might confirm the issue but having the information from the shock tubes I'd think required to do the appropriate research.

Steve's supplied the information from the rears but I'd think it advisable to confirm the front information, gather it into one document and then ask the questions.

I completely understand that. The one thing I for sure noticed was the lack of DELCO on the shock. That signifies to me that at some point these shocks were replaced with new units.

I will try to get the numbers off the shocks. It may be that the new bilsteins are setup this way vs. how the gear was from the factory.

Captain Z CNC has never encountered this before. I have been emailing him back and forth on the issue. I am trying to get some things documented so in the future when someone else has this issue they aren't as lost as I was a few days ago.
