Default shock recommendation

'95 Cherokee with stock suspension with a budget 1 1/2" lift, and 30/9.5/15 BFG All Terrains. I installed Gabriel H.D. gas type shocks, and find the ride kind of "twitchy". Any recommendation on a good shock?

I have Monroe sensa tracs on my 2" lift and I like the ride. If I remember right the ones on the front were for a grand Cherokee and the rears for a Comanche.

This question has been beaten up so bad on this forum. Bilstein def have the best reviews but it comes down to ppls opinions. I have zone shocks and I like them. Have a decent stif ride but stiff has bounce. OmE are good shocks. You'll get mixed reviews but in the end it also depends on your suspension setup. If you have worn out coils and leafs te shocks may ten to work harder or bottom out faster and wear faster. Happened with my last shocks when I did a budget lift. Worst ride ever. Now I did a 3" lift and new shocks and love the ride.
