Default Shock and chip question

2 small questions

Which are the best shocks for ride quality and no off roading? Is there one at a great price? What kind did my 2006 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo trail rated 4.7 come with originally?

Are there any chips that improve city gas mileage? Is there another way to improve gas mileage?

Thanks

Free flowing exhaust and intake. Light on the throttle.

The chip will do nothing but empty your wallet. Spend 300 bucks for something that may get you two tenths of a mile increase in fuel mileage? Dumb.

For MPG improvement, best upgrade you can do is, drive with a light right foot and routine maintenance.

Shocks, IMO, if they cost less than $75 each they will suck. There are no BEST shock that is also cheep, you get what you pay for. For a street only Rig, I'd just go high end Monroe, Gabriel or Old Man Emu or Bilstine shocks.
