These Jeep TJ shock absorber brackets are available on Amazon:

They bolt into the T-Bar top mount, and allow you to use Ranger/F150 shocks which actually have +2" and +4" sizes readily available.

These are the Ranger +4" shocks included in the Rough Country kit.

Shocks still had to be compressed just a tad with the rear at full droop.
Very happy!

This can also be used for adding air shocks to your Sport Trac for dealing with loads/towing.

rancho makes an rs5kx for the front that i think is good for a 2". put them on this one and it seems to allow more droop (but now the UCA almost hits the frame at full droop!!!! (eek))
 






Front shocks already available for the 2001-2005: "Ranger 4x4"
 












There's also these as an alternative
