Default how to improve my ride?

I know its a lifted XJ and its not suppose to ride the greatest, but i felt overtime that it is getting worst

Heres what i have in the front
- adj. track bar
- steering damper
- shocks(fairly new)
- sway bar end links

I just wanted to know what parts i can change to improve my ride

if you are running stock control arms the bushings are likely wore out.
i'd start with looking there.

good set of shocks. also, depending on how high your lifted, a set of control arm drop brackets or longarms would help

Does anybody make air ride for xjs? I seen it once on a lifted tj, that would make it ride like a cadilliac!

I had subs before,, no care for them, slap a good pair of speakers and they sound great with a lil bass, plus just another thing to drain your battery (lights,elec. fans, winch etc..)
