Default Do I need new shocks?

I know jeeps run rough but lately I find anytime I hit small bumps my jeep feels like it is "flexing" as driving speed and shakes whole cabin, any ideas?, gf says she is starting to get shaken baby syndrome.
Ps no lift and I am running 33's with spidertrax spacers

How old are the shocks you have on? New ones will improve the ride...

I am not sure, it is a 07 but I just bought last year, it is not death wobble, just shakes over bump and stops right after

If that '07 has original shocks then it has needed shocks since '08.

In any case, you are almost certain to like your Jeep better with decent new shocks. If they don't solve the whole problem, they will help. If you are able, check out the ball joints, control arm bushings, track bar ends, or anything else that moves with the suspension - front and rear.
