Yes. Either those, or Bilsteins. People seem to like them a lot better than stock. However, if you're not actually having problems with the stock ones, you can just see how those ride with the Leveling Kit on their own.

random question but, I went ahead and purchased this kit two days ago and now I'm looking into new tires. does anyone have a link to the stock rubicon tires? I have a sahara unlimited 08 but would love to have some of those tires that are stock on the rubicons.

Just look in the for sale section here on the forum. Usually several sets of rubi takeoffs for sale.

okay I'll check that. I think I've found a guy locally so if that doesn't work out I'll for sure follow up on one of those sections

Id say you could lift up to 3 in. And still look good with the stock rims and tires. I did and was happy...
