Running the same lift with BFG 35's. You will get a little rub at full flex. I trimmed the fenders which should take care of that.

I had 2.5 and 35s and rubbed at full lock as well as mild+ flexing. A 1.25" body lift solved that problem for me

Default put 'em on!

prophetman,

don't hesitate to put the 35's on. it will work with only minor issues--depending on what wheels you use. i never had any problems at full turn, but i did have problems with the rear tires contacting the factory rock rails. i just cut about 1.5 inches off of the rails (as well as the pinch weld). but after that, no real problems (except that the rear tires slightly rub the fenders at full stuff).

We have a 3.5 BDS lift and 35" MTZs and the tire did rub in front, had to just shave a bit of and no problems. Of course since then put on a different front bumper and no problems.

I have a problem with the tires going up into the fenders when rock climbing or jumping (LOL) I don't want to change out my fenders...any ideas on what I could do to elimiate this...besides no rock climbing or jumping?
