Better ride when on small lift
96 XJ Country, just have add a leaf and some inserts on front that gives me a few inches of lift. Running some cheap shocks from Lew Schwab and new 31's on 15" rims so plenty of meat but I'd like a better ride quality.
I'm thinking a "real" 3" lift and Bilsteins??? This is strictly a daily driver.
Suggestions.

I have ome nitro charger sports all around and they are amazing. Everyone cant believe how smooth my jeep is. Even with 31s.
The shocks alone make a work of difference from white body shocks and not to mention the rest of the emu suspension with the shocks...

I was going to either get bilstein 5150s or the nitro chargers....
I did alot of homework and went with the Old man Emu and never looked back.

The solution to a better ride is proper control arm length and alignment. Shocks will NOT fix bad control arm angles.
Shocks will also not fix harshness causes by the AAL spring. Or any shackle angle issues caused by said spring.
