Default rear shocks for 4.5" lift?????

what kind of rear shocks are you all using for a 4.5" lift?
I tried using some off a f-150 4x4, but it made it way to stiff.

I just lifted it. 4.5" coils, s-10 bastard pack, 1" trans drop.

RC Nitros, they a little rough riding on the street and only OK OFF-Road. I will go OME or Bilstine next time.

i know but, the difference between with shocks and without is total different. i think the f-150 shocks are to strong for the light cherokee.
i could jump on the rear bumper and it would not move much at all. when i took the shocks off, it was easy to move.
