new shocks
so i found out it wasnt my exhaust. it was the rears shocks most likely. so for now i raised the springs 1 inch to help with alot of the bumps. wat kind of shocks do u guys reccomend for the back and how can i make sure that a shock is actually broken

if the shock is broke it will move around especially with the car jacked up. I like KYB and Edelbrock shocks personally

grab the shock while the rear is in the air, if it's broke you can physically move it. Check that it's not just a bad mount or bushing also
