As Anton said, astra shocks for the win, it's what I'm running on mine with YJs and they're great.

Totally. I did SPOA, and I did it properly (full high-steer, no Z-bar, extended brake lines from Dave at Llama4x4 etc) but I'd always do virtual lift instead from now on. SPOA is best if you think lifted trucks look cool, virtual lift is best if you want simplicity and best offroad capability.
