I have an 01 2wd that rides pretty good. Try going to the lower tire pressure limit. I noticied on mine that if I have the tires pumped up pretty good, it rides rougher. You could probably do more with the torsion bars and springs but do some research first.

You could remove the swaybars but it won't corners as good. Does make it much smoother though.

I'll send you my worn out shocks from my 94, that should soften things up a little bit.
