I know a number of people who are running 33s all the way up to 37s on stock Rubi wheels. Max width you should run is limited to 12.5s. Nobody has had issues yet, but anything over 35s will require c-gussets, wheel spacers, flat fenders (or trimming) and a min 4" lift.

Im getting ready to do the same thing with Rough Country. Would it be better to get the extension and use the rubicon shocks?

the ride is GREAT!
also I read that NorthRidge4x4 has TaraFLex products on sale..
also, if yours is a 2011 you will need to either bend your front brake lines or extend them.. we carefully bent them and this is a PIC a Full Flex

TeraFlex shocks are good.. I don't have alot of non-stock to compare them to.. you could probably upgrade from them... maybe Bilsteins...
I am happy with the over all Lift I did.
