tire pressure also massively impacts the ride quality. try going a few pounds softer on the tires. just make sure that its not so low that it will make the tire wear unevenly.

I've got OME shocks on my Jeep Cherokee and love them. They replaced my Rancho 9000's and I couldn't be happier with them, great ride on and offroad. Where did you find some for the Ranger? I've been looking for the OME's for my 2000 Ranger and can't find any.
