I do not think the shocks would cause any problems unless something else was wrong. (I still do not have any on the rear and cant tell that I dont) Low tire pressure could contribute, but with the pressure you are running that should not be a problem. A few degrees of pinion angle on my race car made a huge difference in the way torque was transfered to ground. (would cause the car to squat one way and lift the other) You did check the u-bolts as suggested? How did you mount the axle to the spring. (did you use a lifted mount/block) should have ask that first I guess.
