The systems engineer that was working with me was seeing what uri was being passed using Fiddler. What finally ended up working for me was a modification of another iRule that was implemented before. 

if { ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals "/common/images/sbox/common/images/sbox") or ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/common/images/sbox/common/images/sbox/")} {
HTTP::uri "/common/images/sbox/[findstr [HTTP::uri] /common/images/sbox/common/images/sbox/ 39]"

Thanks in advance!
