Most likely because you probably won't be able to flex much or disconnect sway bar without rubbing pretty good. Like I said, 35's and no lift is ok to get by on the street, but isn't gonna do you a whole lot of good wheeling

I've got stock 32's with no flares and have probably 4" till those rub at full tuck. 35's would only add an inch and a half more tire in the wheel well so I'd still have clearance. Will it rub on something else?

I wasn't aware you were running flareless. You would probably be fine then

Got the fenders and started the install. Wow. I was at it for 8 hours and only got the front done. Didn't expect them to be that time consuming but hey what can ya do. Starting on the rears first thing in the morning. Wish me luck!

Well 16 hrs, two six packs, and a lot of bolt tightening later, the fenders are on and looking good! Couple minor figment issues but I'm very happy with the way they turned out and the way they look. First opportunity on the trail ill introduce one to a tree and see how they like each other
Now for the wheels tires and lift. Yes lift. Decided to do the rustys 3.25 basic kit because I don't think the truss will clear the oil pan and such without a lift. Also gotta order the front axle armor kit from artek and the hd ball joints from Eric at offroad elements. You needs parts and Eric can get them fast, easy, and very well priced.
