Default 2.5" bb lift

Hi everyone I'm new on here and looking for some info. I recently bought an '07 jk x and it already had the 2.5" lift with 17" procomp wheels and 33" tires I already had to have the cv replace. My question here is what kind of maintenance is needed on this lift. Also Im prett sure it still has the stock shocks on it, should I replace them and if so will it give me a better ride and which would be the best for this lift?

Thank you guys for your input in advance

With stock shocks and a 2.5" lift, you should have shock extenders. If not I would buy some new shocks at the correct length.

Bilsteins are great shocks that give a nice ride. Also ome=old man emu. They make very nice lifts and shocks as well
