So I own a 94 Xj and I'm installing s10 leaf springs with a shackle, and Xj coil springs that have 4 inches of lift. The question I would like answered is what type of shocks should I get, like there is rustys offroad shocks or skyjackers shocks. What do you guys recommend?

Also I'm going to be using it as a DD and planning 33s with 4.10 gearing

Skyjacker isn't that great. I love my BDS shocks, but they can be pricey for some.

all white body shocks are made by monroe. they are very cheap and may not last very long.
i like bilstein, i have them on my main trail rig, and monroe white body (skyjacker) shocks on the backup xj.

before the bilstein, i had RE monotube. they are nice, and i think are made by bilstein. they felt just as nice, anyway.
