I bought a used '07 4 door Sahara with a 2" lift kit of unknown origin. Skyjacker lower front & rear links, black coil springs & Rubicon Express shocks (painted bodies, conventional looking). 295/75-16's
This is my wife's DD & it sucks on sharp edged bumps.

She recently got a ride in a RZR4 & it gobbled up some nasty stuff with zero harshness. Who makes the best riding spring shock package?

Just buy some adjustable shocks and then play with them to your satisfaction. I believe Rancho and Pro-Comp have value priced adjustable shocks which could help you out.

I run adjustables on the rear of my jeep.

Check your tire pressure, you do not need to run the max pressure stated on the side wall. I run 20 to 30 lbs , makes a big difference.
You're compering it to a RZR ?

Running 28psi, have run as low as 25. I know it's not a RZR but there is no reason it should be as harsh/unpleasant as it is. The front end barely moves when I push down on it & I'm 250lbs.
