I votes to soon to tell, only 3 trips so far and about 6-800 miles. TF 2.5BB with no extra bump stops and Unlimited springs. Slight rubbing on fender frairs and pinch seam in back but fixed it.

I did the same an it makes a huge difference. I don't know how well the stock shift points are dialed in; but what you end up with after installing 35/37's with or without gears is pretty lousy. To the list above (adj control arms, gears, and aftermarket driveshafts) I would add the AccuComp as necessary for an automatic. I should have added adjutable track bars to the list above too.

Missing a key piece of the equation - what wheels and/or spacers are you using? Lift makes room, but wheel backspace is critical as well. I suspect a lot of "problems" are from ill-fitting wheels, not the lift or the 35" tires.

2 cents.

I would agree too much backspacing will cause tire rubbing..listen to others word of wisdom. Like most say 4.25 bs is suggested,that seems to be the majority that i have seen around
