What makes the ride worse is the Short control arms at such a steep angle, and the horrible shackle angle. Get shackle relocation brackets and long arms. Night and day difference in ride quality. Keep in mind though, it is still a 4x4, not a cadillac.

 

I run skyjacker nitros, they are stiff but have 5/8" shafts. Plus they were cheap and had a rebate when I bought them. They have held up good and I'm hard on stuff.

 

I have the control arm drop kit and it's a huge difference from having the control arms at a steep angle.

 

My 3 inch isn't too bad.. Leafs tend to twist a lot but that's my fault. It's noisy but I think it's normal. What kind of ride do you want? Smooth? Not stiff? What do you want?. We're in jeeps you will feel bumps. And you will hear noise.

 

I have the Rough Country 4.5" long arm, with Deaver springs front & rear along with Fox smooth body shocks and it rides & like a Cadillac... I did make boomerang shackles 2" longer than stock.

 

i am not really looking for a better ride i am looking a quality in the lasting long and don't bend bc i have a 6.5 rustys lift and i dont really like it my shocks a very light i can push them in and out with little force and they have less then 20,000 on them and i snaped my bar pin this past weekend so i am going with different shocks and i took out the lift blocks and and putting shackles

 

Serious LongArms & Bilstein Shocks FTW!

 

^ This!

 

If looking for better ride then sell the jeep and get a nice little car.

 

This^

 

I have Rough country 3" lift and pleased with it, like folk said before smooth ride?
Get a Rolls Royce.
For the money I have no regrets.

 

I don't no much about lifts but I brought a 2000 XJ with RC lift kit and on the road ride I hate. I'm looking for some info and a shop who I can take it too to help me fix the ride or make it better.

 

you guys dont understand what i am saying i dont give a fu#k about the ride!!!!! I bounce around in a bobcat and machines all day and you think i would have concerns about ride quality. I am looking at strength and lasting me a while bc i don't feel like replacing them every 20000 miles. Get it now?

i am going with rubicon express anyways 16.5 x 28.5
