As posted above, you only need 2.5 - 3" to run 35's. It is the same whether 2dr or 4dr. The difference is, on the 2dr, if you go over 3", then you will need aftermarket driveshafts. Most 2.5" lifts actually give you closer to 3" of actual lift, while a lot of 3" lifts give you more than that. If you only go 3-4" of actual lift, with a manual tranny, your front shaft might be okay, but the rear will need to be swapped. 4drs have longer rear shafts so they are usually okay until you go over 4".

I'll trio the above, a Tera Flex 2.5" Budget Boost with new shocks or shock extensions will allow 35" tires easily. Then you won't have to worry about the drive shafts for the time being.
