You’re not gonna get much for that that will allow you to go that much faster. How fast have you been going and how much faster are you looking to go? Did you air down?

Nothing for under 1500 dollars. Good set of shocks will cost more than that.

Yep
Speed costs $$, and the faster you want to go, the more $$$$$$$ it takes.
Your budget will get you in something like the Rancho kit Eddie (Wayalife) has, but it will only get you a little bit more than stock as far as speed goes.
King shocks will help, but that is around $2,500
If you want fast, long arms and DTD EVO will do fast, but you might need a second mortgage.

“Air down”?
I was going 40-45mph. I bottomed out a few times when I hit some pot holes. Will the mopar system get me more travel? Or the icon stage 2 with hydraulic bumb stops?
I’m going for a lift next week. I just wanted suggestions on one that possible worked better on trails vs rock climbing.

Don’t waste your money next week. Do some more research.
Air down. Yes. Let some air out of your tires. Smoother ride.

Get another job or three, and follow this build...
Did I mention I’m a Jeep newbie.
I’m running my stock tires 245’s at 30psi.
I going to lift it to run 35’s. What lift kit should I go with?

Before you take off on dirt, let some air out of your tires. For high speed stuff, don't go too low - maybe 15 psi is all you need to be at. That'll soften up your ride. Just make sure you don't go too low - that is a common rookie mistake and can result in sidewall damage caused by a pinch.
As far as lifts go, all you need is a 2" lift to clear 35's. Being that you've only got $1500 to work with, I would give the Dynatrac or Rancho lift a look.
