If those Ranchos still have the plastic dial adjuster, hard pass. Anecdotal evidence incoming:You’re going to need a different shock. Order a set of adjustable Ranchos. 9000XLs. This will address your issues. They are inexpensive and work very well depending on your load. The factory springs and a spacer won’t fix your issue. Also, if you didn’t loosen your control arms in the rear when you installed your lift, do that and retorque them. I would try that first. Also drop your pressure down to about 28/30. 36 is way too high for an E. That tire has plenty of load carrying for your JT at 28 psi.
I had them on my 2 door JK. Sheared the plastic knobs off on rocks for both the rear shocks, and then 3/4 blew out after a day of some minor washboarding. If you never go offroad, and need mild-duty shocks, they're probably fine. But I was amazed at how quickly, and how much, seemed to fail on them.
