Yes you can and I am currently runnig it. It drives great but you might want to re-gear if you haven't done so already. Plus I did the superchips and it made a huge difference.

I am running a 2.5 inch coil and shock teraflex lift and am running 35 inch Goodyear Kevlar reinforced tires and it rides great...I believe 2.5 is the highest you can go without running into making multiple other adjustments and changes to the drivetrain etc.

I have a 2.5" and will be getting 35's once my BF's are done. Will look into regearing once warranty is up on stock gears, likely the same with running any aftermarket chip.

You can "Fit" without a lift... but you can't do much more than go over a speedbump without a lift

I've got 35" and 13" wide without, just can't seem to put 8 free hours together to get my lift on.

As others have said, they will definitely fit but you are going to get some rubbing on the trail.

With my 2.5 mopar lift and 35" BFG'S I get rubbing at full flex on the front bumper, and rear fender flares. Nothing too bad, but you will definitely hear it. I have popped at least one rivet off the fender flare from the rubbing.

As long as you are ok with that, it is a solid set up.
