XJ Shock absorbers
 

Can somebody recommend what shocks I should buy for my 2001 Cherokee
Sport? This car is driven by my wife, so I would like to have firm but
smooth ride. I replaced the stock shocks in my 97 XJ with Gabriel
Ultras and it rides real rough. Thanks Dave

firm =/= smooth. :)

You can try the Edelbrock IAS or similar self adjustable shocks.
They ride smooth but tighten up depending on the load seen.
Or you could go with a pure adjustable RS9000 or similar with onboard air. :)

I've got the IAS shocks on mine and it's driven quite hard. The on-road
is nice and smooth, but it corners on rails. It also takes a off-road
hit quite nicely.

I have Rancho RS5000s on the front and Gabriel Air (air adjustable)
shocks on the rear of my daily driver. I think the ride is great.
Tires are Michelin LTX M/S
