Did you use the very top holes on the shackles? There shouldn't be any difference between your old 00 and your new 01.

How many miles on the 01? The suspension will settle a little over time.

The Blistein Shocks are a big difference is the 01's. They are alittle longer I think and make the truck sit different. Thats what I was told.....

I understand you get a real big fat chick with the 2001s to help with traction, she's programmed to jump out of the bed at 60 mph. Is she in or out of the truck at this time?
This could be the source of your problem.

J/K. You really don't get a fat chick with your truck. Actually I have the ground force 1/2 and it takes a few days to settle

I would change the shocks that will help. The 01 stock are nice but if your looking for a bigger drop try out a different set.

Shocks won't make a difference unless you go way low (4"+). Shocks are not load bearing. They do not support the truck.
