Time for shocks I think

I have a 2" level on the rear with the 24" wheels. When I hit a bump it feels like the rear is falling harder now. I am assuming the stock shocks are finally giving up. What do you suggest in new shocks. If this is the best route to go?

Did you just recently add the 24" wheels and suspension? Those large wheels with skinny tires will cause a stiffer ride. Also, how did you level the rear? AAL\lift block? If it's an AAL, that would also cause a stiffer ride. Either way, depending on how many miles you have on your shocks, it may not be a bad idea to get new ones.

Ive had the 24"s for a while. It feels like it has gotten worse. The rear is a 2" drop with shackles.
