So what's the difference in 2.5 suspension and a combo of my 2 inches of lift and 1.25 bodylift.

My apologies. I thought you meant just a 1" body lift and 35's. That combo would work just fine. but you still might rub when flexed. And you'll want to trim rear pinch seam

With stock flares and no body lift, you need 2.5" extended bumpstops to off road with 35s.

With flat flares, you don't need any front extended bumpstops for 35s. However, you still need rear extended bumpstops unless you cut the entire radius of the rear pinch seam fender wells.

With a body lift, or with rear extended bumpstops, you don't have to cut/trim as much of the rear fender wells.

This is why most on 35s and stock flares do a 2.5" suspension lift that includes 2.5" front and rear extended bumpstops.

Lift height does not directly matter if you do not extend bumpstops, or clearance fenders with flat flares and/or a sawsall.

If you run 4" tall springs with stock flares but do not have extended bumpstops to limit the uptravel of the axle, 35s will rub the stock flares.

Where does your 2" of lift come from? A leveling kit is 1.5". If you have a leveling kit, you have already changed the suspension. A budget boost works just like your leveling kit except the spacers are thicker. With a small lift like 2.5", all you really need are the springs a shock extensions. It not a lot of money.

The teraflex leveling kit is 2" front and 1" rear lift. He's saying 2" up front

In the rear with flat flares what length extended bumpstops are you suggesting?

I'm cool with what I'm doing

If you only trim the front edge of the pinch seam, 2.5". If you significantly trim the entire seam from front to rear edges, 0".

Isn't there a danger of panel separation if you
trim the whole pinch seam from front to back?

What do you use to fill the gaps, once you've
trimmed the pinch seams?

I'm in the process of installing 35",(34.7") tires
on my JKU that has a 1.75" BB from Daystar.
