Default Err.. Think I found my suspension problem?

Well i've made a few threads in this section complaining that the back of my car slams when I hit a bad bump. Right now I have air shocks to lift the car away from the rear. Then I thought, oh crap, the bumpstops. At first I thought maybe I didn't have them.. But, you guys think THIS might be my problem?!

Drivers side


Passenger's


My passenger's side always used to hit the hardest too. So would getting new ones fix this problem? I would say their shot. I think the only place to get new ones is through GM right? And their $50 or something

IMO, When you replace the bump stops leave the spacers out.

They need replaced, but that's not your issue.
You have a damping issue. Air shocks can raise you up, but are still pretty crappy shocks.
