What would be a good set of rear shocks and front struts that will improve the ride and hold up to trailering alot that I can run on stock springs (no lift)? Hearing alot of good about the Ranchos, do they make a set I can use without a lift? Thanks in advance.

RSX17505 or RS5764 for front shocks work for lifted or stock, same with the RS5284 rear shock

however shocks alone aren't going to do much of anything when towing if your coils are aging and sagging which would give you a good chance of blowing the shock and wasting money

I dont have any sagging to speak of. Just wanting to upgrade the ride it currently has without lifting. What's the difference between the two front strut options?

Getting a set of Air Lift air bags would work the best for improving the ride while towing. Summitracing.com has them for stock kj's.
