Tomb Raiders came off a special edition TJ done for the movie "Cradle of Life". Forged alloys made by Alcoa for Chrysler. They came in a 15" version on another special edition TJ, but those found on the Tomb Raider were 16x8's with 5" backspace.

Moabs are found on the TJ Rubicon Moab. Same dimensions as the 16x8's above.

Was that directed toward me.

You're pressing down on the pressed in studs and using an impact wrench on the nut, which puts your face how many inches away from it? Even with straps I'd say that's a recipe for a caved in face. Do what you want but I'd hate for some kid to see that pic and try it themselves.

Good luck.

#1 Yes Jeepin by Al IS in the USA
#2 The Quadratec listing is for medium duty springs, you will want CRD springs

thank you

All J Products also has the CRD springs and they are closer to you

Boss · **Posted:** Sat May 03, 2014 9:09 am

oh my goodness more information, thanks I think.

I'd rather see JBA or All Js supported, but Amazon sells the 790's also: ARB 2790 Old Man Emu Coil Spring by ARB http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IU13M6/ref ... ztb03MVRZ4

You may want to find the whole ome kit with the 790/948 including the nitrocharger shocks. Make sure you get the long rear shocks formerly known as 132L. I believe they changed the part numbers on the shocks, not sure what the new part number is.

I'm with you on supporting JeepinbyAl that seems like a really cool company, so I did. Hooray, it's done. I haven't got a tracking number yet. I'm grateful for the information and options it helped me make an informed decision. I've got several major irons in the fire this Spring and making this project simpler helps me out a lot. Thank you

As I look back 4 years my Jeep was sagging when I got it

The next feat will be the tires. For now I need to keep these factory rims. I like these tires https://www.treadwright.com/individual-product/159/GUARD%20DOG-245-75.00R16.00-E

I need sidewall protection, I'm seriously off road with my job as a WiFI installer and do occasional remote WiFI tower work. I put a large gash in my sidewall right after I bought the Kumhos, and while that was distressing the tire performed well for years. The shop where I'll have the work done will want to do Kumhos again but I'm uncertain

Boss · **Posted:** Tue May 20, 2014 8:57 am

getting excited two more days and my little Jeep is getting a raise, not a moment too soon. I had to drive to one remote tower location and bottomed out five times on next to nothing

Boss · **Posted:** Fri May 23, 2014 6:06 pm

Boss · **Posted:** Fri May 23, 2014 6:07 pm

Thats what I have - shouldn't be a problem. Here's mine, a bit dirty sorry.

A lot of shops aren't used to installing lifts on KJ's. You ordered new struts right?

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri May 23, 2014 6:18 pm

Very easy to pull them back in with some rachet straps, they will pull right in where they need to be unless you have added way to much in the way of clevis/spacers etc

Boss · **Posted:** Fri May 23, 2014 6:21 pm

yes new struts I don't know what he is talking about he said the bottom didn't fit in the control arm, I said to put it back together. Maybe I better go look at it

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri May 23, 2014 8:34 pm

Not the first time a shop hasn't been able to figure out how to install a lift on a KJ or KK :wink:

and its so simple
