You'll want to use the threaded type. It is bolted to the frame with a big nut. Then, the other end has a smaller nut that retains the shock.
The other one you described sounds like the original one out of the original shock.
Make sure you torque the stud very tight. These trucks tend to get loose upper shock mounts and they wallow a hole in the frame real quick.
