Stock shocks =\ I don't know how low you are but stock shocks do not perform well due to the shorter shock travel.
What you are probably hearing is the rear suspension going full compression on the shock and that will kill the life of those things pretty soon. You might want to check the torque on all your suspension related parts to be sure they are with in the factory spec if your funds do not allow for a set of aftermarket shock absorbers. Hell just check the torque on them anyway, better to be safe than sorry.

Awww dude that sucks, I just went through that with my DA, and I had blown a boot that is attached to the stock shocks. I know that it looks clean slammed, but there is a price to pay when you slam your ride....either way you should fix it asap, w/draw from the bank, borrow from a friend but do what you gotta do to fix it b-4 it becomes a real fucked up problem. Take my experience as a warning, and fix it
Go to a local shop(or do it yourself if you have the knowledge) and order yourself a suspension setup such as Koni or Tein. Those are the two brands I recommend. I just had some Koni's w/adjustable coils put in my DA and ooohhh baby the ride quality is
