Maybe try to get some good video of the suspension articulation while driving down the road. Might make diagnosing easier

Are your rear shocks coil over or the smooth bodies?
Eric told me I shouldn't need one though.

and it's just a shock, smooth body.

Shouldn't is the key word which doesn't mean guaranteed you do not need one. That is why we offer them for the ones that do need them. Does your steering arm at ride height run parallel with your lower control arms, if not you will need one.

fixed the issue, at least, most of them.

to put it simple, I aligned it myself, picked it up a half inch, and messed with the rear shock settings.
