Changing the rear shocks will make an improvement in your ride overall. Agreed it is not a hard task.

If you have air ride or self leveling suspension then another item to check is the calibration of the ride height. There are a lot of posts on here about ride height calibration impacting ride quality.
Thanks for reply! The ride height of my car is correct, mine is 4.8is wiht 2 axle air shocks. So you guys recommend replacing the whole rear shocks instead of replacing the dampers only. Do I understand correct?
