I'm no expert but springs carry the load. Shocks dampen the movement. If the springs are flat, or played out, the shocks do what they can but all that energy is transferred to the body, frame, the seat, and spine. Shocks can only do so much.
Just my 2cents but the ford OEM springs that SMB left on the rear were not up to the task and the Old Man Emu springs on the front from ARB not much better.
edit to add: it also depends on what year you have. SMB eventually went to a local spring manufacturer. Betts I think. Many of us upgraded to Deavers.
