I dd the same front set up. My shocks are stock and junk and the ride isn't half that bad. Its not a stock ride but its not that bad. Really its about the same as my trail rig with a 4 1/2. Jeeps are not cars and won't ride like one. With a solid front axle when lifted the tend to ride rougher then most ifs trucks.

Pull the shocks off the front and take the Jeep for a quick spin, I bet it rides much better. Do this as a test only, you need shocks to help maintain control while driving.

You will need the shocks i took mine off expecting to put the new ones on but didn't work out that way, never does haha, if i hit a bump the rear would bounce for minutes after it felt like i got me sick haha.
