Default got my xj a few days ago. need advise/help

ok so i finally got my xj 3 days ago and i love it. the kid who owned it before me obv didnt know how to properly built/offroad a jeep. i took off the junk ( 1 inch wheel spacers, cone type air filter, and some other odds and ends.) due to the wheel spacers making the rotors tilt they work out with the pads so i replaced them. first test drive time, little bouncy, checked the shocks, oh look what missing in the rear, haha anyway along with that there is a loud vibration when acceleration only. hoping for the best that its a vibration from the shocks missing in the rear. i ordered new sky jacker shocks ( good choice or bad?) and they hopefully will clean it up a little bit. should the vibration/ noise not be the shocks missing where should i start?

I bought a 1.5" Lift from carparts.com. Got it all for 150. I did this cause I needed shocks and figured id get a small cheap lift with it.

I got skyjackers on the rear of mine and they have been great so far. Never had a problem with them and they have been on for close to 2 years.
