This might sound dumb but here goes. I was told many years ago that if you pushed down on the fender of a car it should go down come up and stop. This is what happens on the front of my jeep but the back bounces an extra time. One shock had a dent so I replaced the back two shocks and it still does this. Before replacing tires a month ago one had worn flat in one round spot. Tire dealer said he thought there might be a suspension problem. Any and all ideas will be greatly appreciated. Everything looks normal

Different shocks provide differing amounts of damping. Basically on the highway if you are happy with the ride and no bouncing around then the shock is doing its job. Offroad - the hype your hear and read about shocks is basically referring to those that go like hell with their rigs IE a lot of speed. For most of us we practically go at a speed where shocks can be removed for offroading - almost.
