Default Rear Shock help, please

Riding a 2011 RGU and when I hit a bump in the road it feels like I have no shocks at all. On one dip in the highway, the shocks bottomed out so bad, the EZ Up Center Stand under the frame hit the ground. It hit so hard, I think I would have hit the frame if the stand wasn't there. Shocks are pumped up to 50 pounds and I don't see any fluid leaking. What else could be wrong? What can I check?
