sorry for the late reply. Yes you can upgrade your shocks to something like this. Stock springs/lift height are not ideal if you plan on doing faster off-road driving. Factory bump stops are really long preventing that much needed up travel.
Glad to hear they are a big improvement over what you had. The 2.5 shock bodies tend to ride on the firmer side with more oil and more oil being forced through the DSC adjusters. However, they should handle really nice on the street and offer great off-road performance. However, if have them on...
The 3 clicks in their diagram is the setting they claim they are shipped as. Weather or not thats accurate is up to you to see. That is not the softest setting.
The softest and firmest description there is just to tell you whats going on with knobs, not related to the specific setting they have...
? Shocks and springs are going to have the biggest affect on ride quality.
@Blackdew some Fox 2.0 remote reservoir shocks would definitely be a big upgrade over what you have. If your budget allows for it, we can put our valving in them to make the Jeep a lot more tolerable both on and...
Already lots of good advice in here, so I will just offer up this article we put together that goes in more depth on the matter. Cycling everything without the spring is great, but often times you can just get a tape measure out.

A longer travel shock is not always a good thing. Losing up travel can hurt ride quality and too long of a shock can cause other issues with binding or springs coming loose.
This may help answer some questions about up/down travel and correct length shocks:

There is a fine balance btw tire fitment, shock travel and comfort.
If this were us and our main goal is to fit 37s, then we would mount tires, cycle to confirm bump stop height, then raise vehicle to desired ride height (adequate uptravel), then start piecing together springs and shocks that...
Thats correct, IBPs are built very differently and you will not get that clicking noise. Those however are much harder to tune properly.
Big name Tuner?
Yes, better shocks can help keep you from bottoming out as often. But like mentioned, its all relative to the setup and having enough...
Drawbacks may also include loss of performance with added weight or incorrect ride height. Since bypasses are ride height sensitive, shock shaft position is important so you are not riding in the bump zone or top out zone. However I totally agree, with the right setup these can be amazing. We...
I hear this a lot, that high end shocks are only necessary for Baja racing or what not. If you are driving your Jeep often, then having it ride smooth on the street can be almost more important than off-road. This is probably one of the most common compliments we get from customers that invested...
