What kind of shocks are you running? Also add a leafs tend to ride pretty harsh. You can et full leaf packs and they will probably ride better.

That is clearly an exaggeration.

Seriously, why do people buy modified jeeps and expect them to ride like they're a luxury SUV. Ain't happenin.

It may not be an exaggeration. Cars with sport suspension don't typically have a very comfortable ride. So it's possible that the Jeep does feel like the Infinity G35 sport. Of course, I've never been in a G35, so I really don't know.
