5100s were inexpensive and an easy upgrade that totally changed the driving character of the truck on and off road.
Bilstein 5100s with proper travel (measure your old ones) then send them into Bilstein and give them your Jeep specs and what you use it for and they will tune them for you for free (you cover the shipping).
Rancho has some adjustable shocks I’ve had on my CJ work great
If you're just trying to level you could try a set of adjustable height Bilstein shocks. That Rancho looks like it's leaking as you've already described.
Qmulus that is a great tip for removing that bolt. When I put my Golf R control arms and Audi solid rear bushings on our 2013 tiguan I lowered the sub frame because I was installing the dead set kit at the same time. Along with HD Bilstein shocks.
Best thing I did was put Bilstein 5100's on it in place of the Ranchos.
As was mentioned already, the Bilstein B4 is available for the front and rear of the Atlas. I have a full set of B4s on my mkV Jetta and they are fantastic. Quite firm but still comfortable. They rebound once and the party's over, unlike the Atlas which pogos down the road.
Bilstein claims around 10% stiffer dampening and rebound over OEM. I've had both B6 and B4's on my Passat, and the B4's was something I preferred more.
I installed bilstein shocks all around, but noticed no noticeable difference from original stock.
And the adjustable 9000 series are so stiff even on the softest settings. Had them for a while on my E-350 shuttle bus which weighs in just under 10k lbs.
