Kind of lost there baller but if the question was will the 15x8s work with those sized tires yes they will be fine. Use the options that come with your kit unless you already have a kit on your Jeep and some things would be a duplicate. Not really sure what comes in your RC kit.

I think what he means by the extras is on RC's site they have a link to extra addons..Basically the 4.5 kit will come with everything you need..Only other thing I would suggest is a new adjustable track bar. Beyond that the kit is complete also upgrade to the 9000 series shocks..It's a $25 upgrade and well worth it..Also upgrade to new leaf packs and don't get the AAL...

What model jeep are you getting?

okcjeeper

wow you guys are fast..

muddeprived

you and i posted at the same time

okcjeeper

lol such good timing..

Get a new track bar don't use the track bar relocation brackets...Just my opinion anyways..If you can afford it and have an NP231 get the SYE as well..

Now speaking of the extras, do yourself a favor and get the full leaf packs. Avoid the add a leaf kit if you can.

Most definitely the new leaf packs...The AAL with Shackles won't last as long..and new leafs are easier to install....

I plan on getting the 4.5 kit and I sure will look funny with 30's till I get some 31" or 32" tires..

You will be much happier with full leaf packs.

X2 on the full leaf packs. Might want to think about a set of adj UCAs as well if you plan on doing some serious wheeling!! My $.02, hope it helps!! Peace out!!

Are you getting the SYE?

Ya know my buddy run a 4.5" lift on a 93 XJ and just put some 3* shims and had no vibes at all...
