Default Rear of my ATV seems low

Same '01 Rubicon as in previous thread.Have used it to pull/drag hedge posts and the wife to haul rocks for landscaping, as well as more thean a few 200# plus deer. The rear sags enough that I sometimes have to shift my weight forward to steer. Could I have damaged the rear shocks somehow? I have never had any fluid leak from the shocks and they seem to have plenty of spring back. I have kinda abused it with respect to overloading.

ya the seals wear out and the gas will leak out and you wont notice but do some research to see if you can rebuild then the rebuild is cheaper then buying new
