Installed bilstein shocks all around and leveling kit in front and did the add a leaf on back because when i would tow my 19' boat the rear of the X would almost drag. Gotta tell you big difference now. Stiffer handling but does ride nice. Oh and alignment was a pita.. new camber kits were needed. No rubbing at all..all the way around.

You'll need to watch how long your ball joints last. The extreme angle on them (based on what others have posted) causes them to wear out super faster from being at the extreme of motion already.
