I'm running 2.5"lift with 35"x1250 wide on stock wheels without any problems. Although I would be more comfortable with a 3"lift and 35

Marvin do really feel that the extra half inch would make a difference.

Are you running a coil or spacer 2.5?

I am running the TF 2.5 with TF shocks. 315/75/16 duratracs on 16x8 method wheels. II was rubbing front flares and rear, but after trimming the fenders down last night I have lots more room. Almost makes the 35's look small now

Next is to trim the pinch seam and rock rails this weekend and I should be good to go.

35s no lift is 100% doable on road. Ran the set up for 6 weeks. Just a few very minor rubs.

Now have 35s w/ 2.5 lift. It looks good, no rubbing, adequate for most trails. Flex is somewhat limited, but not horrible by any means.

35s, 2.5 lift and flat fenders w/ proper bumpstops would be optimal in my opinion.

This is my experience based on a JKU.

Hey man you can see my lift details in my signiture but what are proper bumpstops? Where can I buy them?? I heard the 2.2 rough country shocks come with them?? Also anyone running 3/4 in spacers? I am thinking about adding this to my lift but dont want driveshaft issues?

What is this the resurrect once a year thread?

Pretty sure 2.5" lift with 35's is ok. I guess if you must post your pride and joy there is always a show and tell section...

But wait, will it rub? or what size rims you go with.
