Default 07 Ram back end jumps side ways in a turn like crazy!!

I have a 2007 Dodge RAM 1500 4x4 It has the leveling kit and running 20" wheels. When going around a turn and I hit a bump the back ends steps out like crazy. I was wondering what would be the cause of this?

I know that a little jump is normal but this is certainly not. I drove enough trucks know better.

Thanks.

solid rear axle with leaf springs is the problem.
You can get some aftermarket shocks to help that problem, otherwise, ease up around the turns

I know that a solid axel with leaf will cause this. But would it be worst if the two rear shocks are gone?

I brought it in to the garage and they informed me what I though that it was not normal. And they said that the culprit was the shocks?

Already been answered.

If the shop says shocks are wiped and I say shocks will help the problem, then you know what the problem is.
