Shot leaf springs probably wouldn't create sharper bump jolts in the rear. Instead, shot rear leaf springs probably would cause a soft "squishy" feeling in the rear ... nice and soft ... but kindof out-of-control handling on curves,in cross winds, and on rounded rolling bumps.
I have a couple of the Koni FSD shocks in the rear. Their effect is subtle, but very real. For example, our Class C's shower is in the rear and has a curtain latch that used to always come out of position from the jolting in the rear. Now it never does. Road potholes and cracks now feel more "rounded off" and not as "sharp". Lateral roll control in side winds and when entering/exiting parking lots also feels more postive and stable. I'll be adding them in the front next year.
