How are you sure it's the shocks and not control arm bushings, leaf spring hangers or shackles, a rubbing parking brake cable..etc?

Go around with a can of lithium grease, spraying various bushings. Start with one item and drive it or do whatever you need to do to try and reproduce the noise until you finally cure it.
