Default 35s and Stock Bumpers

I am getting ready to have a Rancho 4 inch lift installed and I plan on having new Rugged Ridge wheels and 35s installed. Will I have any rubbing with the stock bumpers? I eventually will be getting new bumpers but the lift and regearing are going to tap out the budget for a while. Any input?

You will be fine, there will be no rubbing on the bumpers

I have slight rubbing on the front bumper during full compression with my 35" Baja claws.

as mentioned, you won't have any problems with the bumpers but unless you are going to be running wheel spacers or new wheels with less back spacing, you will have issues with the rear sidewalls rubbing the rear sway bar links. also, you "may" have issues with the tread hitting the pinch seam at the rear as well - but, nothing a hacksaw or sawzall couldn't fix.
