From the way you describe it, it sounds like a noisy bushing. Either where the upper shocks bolt to or the swaybar bushings on the axle. If it started when the new shocks were put in, I'd bet on the upper shock mount.

Also, take the tire off and look up into the spring. Mine was making a loud "twanging" noise when I'd hit a bump. It turned out that the spring had actually came out of place and was sitting at an angle. It would rub up against the inside of the body when it compressed. All I had to do to fix it was jack up the frame and let the right side of the axle fall to take most of the weight off. Then I just popped it back into place with a pry bar.

If you still can't find it, just get a friend to push up and down on the right rear to get it to make that same squeek. While they're pushing you look for the noise. Spray the bushings down with WD40 or an equivelant.
