Shot rear shocks?

So I’m having a problem where when going over speed bumps if I don’t go extremely slow my rear will literally bounce so high my tires go airborne. I’m thinking that’s gotta be shocks, I’m on 6’ of
life on the jeep. I think the PO put some super cheap shocks on the thing with the lift. Can anyone recommend a good shock for a lifted jeep that’s not super expensive.

I'm thinking more the 6" lift springs are so dang stiff, and your shackle angle is crap......

You probably need a shackle relocation kit to get a better angle

snap a pic of the rear shackle

ok

Is that a boomerang or straight shackle ?

If it's straight, then that shouldn't be your issue....so it may well be the combo of weak shocks and stiff springs

the reason I’m guessing shocks is they seem like they are super cheap. I’ll take some better pictures in the morning when it’s not dark.
