softer shocks for off roading....??

Guys I had a 90 explorer with a 4" lift and rancho 9000's on 33" tires that was great for off roading. However my 91 bronco has a 4" lift of unknown origin and it rides like a ROCK. I need some suggestions on the softest shocks I can get.

Thanks!

I've always used Procomp ES9000 on both my Land Rover 90 and Bronco. No problems with them so far and for the money they are great. All depends on how much you want to pay really. If you want total flexability then get adjustable ones so you can set them firm for the road and 'off' for off-roading. Fox Shock Absorbers seem to be about the best for heavy duty off roading... but they cost about £1000 per corner in the uk!
