Default Shock selection for EVO MFG leveling kit

So I just installed my evo leveling kit and I love the stance. I was wondering what aftermarket shocks go well with this kit. I want to spend the extra dollar on nicer adjustable shocks like kings or bilsteins. Any suggestions?

I am 100% partial to the Rancho RS90000XL adjustable shock.

Good luck in your search.

I would normally recommend rancho 5000X's especially for a leveling kit but if you have the budget for Kings you would be crazy not to get kings. They only reason I would say no is it is only a matter of time before you lift higher and not many people who run a leveling kit are going to spend the coin on Kings so the used market will be limited.

I've ran OME, fox, and bilstein 5100s. and my current 9000s are BY FAR my favorites. (OME coming in 2nd)
they are a pain to adj when I wheel, but I only get out once a month so it's a small price to pay, just do it when I air down.
Plus you can't beat the price when they run their deals. No brainer
