Default Suspension Hits a lil hard

Edit: Just realized I posted this in the Grand Cherokee section, it's an XJ not a YJ. My bad.

So over the past while I've noticed a change in my jeep. The back end seems to hit really really hard, to the point that it makes me cringe when I drive over sewer covers and small pot holes. Is it time to swap out my OEM shocks? or is it possible for it to be something with my leaf springs. I'm running a 3 inch puck lift and a 3 inch suspension on 32 inch tires 20psi. Any insight would be great.

I ran into the same problem and one of my rear shocks had blown. Sagging rear leaves don't help much either. See if there is any oil seeping out of your shocks.

I would get a set of nice shocks. OME is the best money can buy at the moment. It will help out a lot, especially of you are running factory shocks with a 3" lift. And on a side note a yj is a wrongle, not a cherokee or a grand cherokee.
