Question shock change time 4.5" lift, what do you recommend?

I am looking to replace the shocks on my XJ. I have 4.5" lift. Its my daily driver, and I go wheeling maybe 2-4 times a year. what is the best steering stabilizer as well.

What do you guys recommend?

Where is the best or cheapest place to find them?

thanks in advance.

wholly cow these are expensive $112. a piece. & thats the sale price. I was hoping there is something more price conscience. but thanks, when I have more money to spend I will consider these.

I'm sorry we have the 5100's my bad. not sure how much they are but when we got them we got them on the buy 3 get 1 free deal. Not sure if there's any kind of deal like that any time soon. But the 5100's are well worth the money
