2.5 lift and 35s
So I got a rc 2.5 lift and I'm getting new tires soon. Was wondering if anyone is running 35s on a 2.5. If so please post pics and let me know how it runs like off road and such. And if you had to trim your fenders or not.

I am running 35s with my 2.5 bb and it does exactly what I want it to do off road, mild trails but mostly a dd. I have not trimmed my fenders but have trimmed my pinch seems.
You will be fine with 35s and a 2.5 coil lift. there are some pictures in my profile.

I run a lot of moderate trails and I got a set of discos so I flex a good bit so I'll just trim my fenders. I've been wanting to but I figure it would look weird only running 32s lol. So it will give me a reason too or tell the old lady I have to buy a set of flat flares cuz my tires rub hahaha.

I am running the AEV 2.5" lift with 35" KM2's and love them.
It rubs a little on the front air dam when i turn hard, but will be trimming that this weekend. It hasn't rubbed the pinch seam or the rubi rails yet, but its so close I'll be trimming those as well soon.
