I upgraded to Gabriel Strider shocks, best I could afford at the time, and bought Radial T/As to go on the Keystones. Big front and rear sway bars too. So even if my car didn't accelerate like a boss it did corner pretty well.

Pros: cornered pretty well

Everyone here will push Bilstein shocks. They're probably best for weight and wheelbase. I put Rancho on mine and leveled the truck by going 1.75" taller up front. Don't hate the ride.

Pros: leveled the truck
Cons: don't hate the ride

I’ve got rancho on my stock height xj right now and it’s not bad by any means but I don’t have anything to compare it to besides the blown OEM shocks that they replaced a few months back.

Pros: not bad by any means

I just did my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 and put these on the back.

The springs supposedly add about 500 lbs to the leaf springs. After receiving them, I was a little disappointed by the plastic stop at the top of the springs, and the ride is pretty rough empty. Not recommending them (only had them a couple of weeks) but I'm sure there are similar products.

Pros: add 500 lbs
Cons: ride is rough
Vehicle: Dodge RAM
