Default are my shocks blown?

I was driving on the highway at about 80mph and i heard a loud pop noise from my rear back tire... but my tire was fine. The rear back tire was riding lower than all the others, but now my other rear one lowered to the same height as the one that popped...
Anyone ever had this happen to them? Or anyone have an idea of what it could be? i was thinking it was my shock...
thanx
