Sensa tracks for the win. Ive ran them on all of my stock vehicles and I have no complaints. Very nice shock for the price.

I put Gabriel Ultra gas shocks because they were buy four get one free. They are quite a bit larger in diameter than the leaking Monroes I took off [they were about 10 yrs. old] but I'm real happy about how it firmed up the ride. It also handles bumps far better, but again I'm comparing old shocks to new ones so it's bound to be better. As far as the 'bumper bounce test' , I believe the Cherokee's suspension is already firm enough so I never got any bounce, even though 2 of the 4 shocks showed leaking.

I remember my blue jeep felt like that when I first purchased it where the front felt like it was coming through. Turned out the coils where both cracked and worn

I would steer clear of the yellow Monroe sensa track ones. I put a pair up front and three months later it felt harsh again. Replaced them with a better set of ranchos from O'Reillys and its been a year and they're still perfect.

I will throw a good word in for the monro-matic's, I run them on all four corners, they have help up well and provide a decent ride
