Default issue after installing rubicon express 2.5" HELP

alright, so i have a 2008 2 door. wednesday i installed a 2.5" rubicon express lift with twin tube shocks. it looks great, but i'm having an issue with the rear. it seems as if i hit the slightest bump on the road the passenger rear end slams itself? i applied grease to the top of the aftermarket bumpstop and figured once it was to "bottom out" i'd check the factory bumpstop....well, the grease was never touch. what could be the issue? could i have a shock that's a defect? please someone chime in..i'm lost

First off I would go check to make sure everything is tight. Have some one jounce the rear suspension while you look underneath the vehicle. Look to make sure the shocks are the correct size and are not bottoming out, springs are staying seated correctly and nothing is binding up (arms, track bar, sway bar/links).
