I went with Trail Mods removable flares, and got a good deal from a guy on another forum from a company that I'm not sure is approved on this forum......anyway I like them because I can remove the outer portion for wheeling, and put the outer portion back on for the highway-and they cover my 35s on 17x8s fully. Only issue I have with them is that they are a bit flimsy on the front, and the plastic mounting retainers (forget the terminology) broke at a rate of about 60% during install. (it was NOT cold during install) ive been told that Trail Mods would send me more free of charge by the vendor but have yet to give them a call. 35s flex fully with 2.5" lift when outer flares are removed. Here's some pics, enjoy.

Thanks guys! We are extremely proud of them. Here's a video of some recent abuse testing in Moab:

Has anybody cut their fenders and left the inside fender well on while doing do? I have seen it done both ways now and I am thinking of just leaving the insides on while cutting.
