i swaped my old rear end with a cobra one and when i drove it for 2 days but on the third day the rear dropped. I bought new shocks thinking that was the problem but while i drove it it did it again. My friends says that it could be my springs???help??

Shocks don't have an affect on ride height, you can compress chocks with your hands there is no way they will hold up your car. What do you mean by dropped? Did it get lower? You should start with checking springs.
