Default Looking for opinions on this setup

Hey everyone - To start the reason I'm posting this is to get some opinions on this setup for my DD to help smooth out the ride. I have a really bad back and the setup from stock is just getting too hard to keep. So I want to try to see if I can get something a little easier on me. I also need to fix the shimmy I am getting. I'm not looking for any real lift so 2" is more than enough for me.

The ride: 2012 2d Wrangler Sport

What I am thinking about:
Rancho RS9000 shocks RS999326 + RS999328
Synergy Springs (8064-10 & 8063-10)
Synergy JK Front Track Bar - 8075-02

So what ya think? Thanks in advance!

285/70r17, D

Once these are done I am going to go to a more street tire in a 265/70r17 size.

I would start with your tire pressure and play with 24-28 psi to see if it helps smooth out the ride. You will find unless you have a heavy jeep you are going to get more lift then advertised from coils so you might see 3" from a 2" coil if your jeep is stock. Just something to think about. Shocks are subjective as far as ride is concerned. You might want to find some shocks with compression adjusters. For your shimmy have the wheel balanced checked, if they are ok then move on to checking for warped rotors, bad unit bearings, make sure your track bar is properly torqued. If you are running after market wheels make sure the rotor retainer clips were removed from the wheel studs.
