The softest for street driving would be the stock shocks.
Just get a set of like new takeoffs from someone on the website. This is not that complicated.

This is definitely a lie. I have a brand new SJ hydro in my garage along with a stock shock and an Old Man Emu.

The Skyjackers are the stiffest.

Most of these manufacturers make shocks that are stock length or slightly longer. And last time I checked, Jeeps are made for off road conditions.

Try the RS9000XL, if you aren't happy return them.
This shock allows you to go from a soft ride to a firm ride at the turn of a knob.
Good luck in your choice!

Amen to that. The combination of the hydro shocks and their springs gives me a really rough ride.

BINGO! A suggestion for an adjustable!

Just remember that you are stuck with any other shock that doesn't adjust so you better like it.

What about running lower tire pressure to smooth that ride out?
