Shocks front and rear
Plus just installing them with worn out springs causes the shocks to over work and wear out faster
With these since they came with really weak springs ( fronts 310 lb when should of been 345 or so ) and shocks by the time you have 60-65000 miles they have already started to sag and springs becoming stacked
On level ground, left front measure from middle of the wheel to bottom of the flare

Welcome as well to the forum.
Probably best to have it scanned by a good shop scanner (snap on ultra modis) and identify what stored codes are involved.
Here is the 2005 Factory service manual, Air bag operation/descriptions.. http://www.colorado4wheel.com/manuals/Jeep/KJ/2005JeepKJServiceManual.pdf
Hopefully the codes can point towards a known issue..
