Rebuild or buy new shocks?

Good Afternoon-

I have a 2013 JKU rubicon that has RK 2.5 lift (all adjustable arms) and I currently have fox performance IPS shocks which were new in late 2013. My Jeep is very heavy with 35s, skid plates, bumpers, rock rails and full rack.

My shocks are shot at this point. When I hit big bumps there is little give untill it hits hard. Even before they were shot when I had a fully loaded Jeep there was little in the way of rebound and they would bottom out a lot.

Is it worth the time to have the shocks rebuilt or should I move on to something else? I also put the newer RK rear springs in a few years ago to help with heavy loads. Any recommendations of a new shock setup that won’t break the bank?

Thanks in advance.

Doug.
