Those tires are so cute! :rofl:

I know I was gonna catch some hell for the tires. But i'm stuck between rubicon wheels or the stocks so by early next week I will know. In FL you can find the wheels for $200-$400 with tires. Order some adapters if the guy with the Moab wheels come thru:chillpill: Lol

245/75/16's are what I have right now. You lose a little power which leads to the next step of 4.10's.....it never ends.:word:

Nice KJ!

Are you looking at Moabs from a TJ? If so the bolt pattern is the same and will make your Jeep look sweet with a set of 245/75-16's - no spacers required. Those shoes are the perfect size with the lift - though you'll probably need to go back and put in the front spacer and rear iso's to avoid rubbing. Pounding down the pinch weld in the front will probably be on your list too. And yes, a regear to 4.10's brings things back to stock gearing.

If you're getting a set of JK Moabs (17 inchers) you'll need spacers/adapters to mod them to the KJ's bolt pattern. Tire choices are more limited too.

Nice job on the lift - the Libby looks awesome! :favorites13:

If you stick to 245-75-16s on stock wheels ot 16 X 7 with 4 inches of backspacing you'll be fine
Larger tires then more lift / regear and dig way deeper in the pockets
also Moabs from the JK generally come with 32s or larger so you'll have the cost of spacers, more lift, regear etc

If you don't have the JBA UCAs bad idea as the springs will hit the UCAs plus you'll not get a good alignment.
Even with the UCAs it'll have some spring contact at times.

Ok, I got you. Right know I can put my hand between the spring and uca.
I have to wait for a while before I can get new JBA uca's.:icon_confused:
