You mean the body seam in front of your rear tires? More lift isn't the answer for this. Most people trim that down but if it doesnt hit when flexed then why worry?

ID:	277899 this is Fabtech 5" with Xenon flat fenders and Mickey Thompson 37's. Trimmed the pinch seam no rubbing, but personally think it sits to tall. You should check out Planman's JK he is running 40's and I think 2" of lift roughly.

^^^This. Can you give us more info on your suspension? Which brand lift? Spacer vs. coil? Control arms? Have you trimmed your pinch seam? Any other modifications?

That will help get to the best solution to your situation. You shouldn't need to run anywhere NEAR 6" of lift for 35" tires, even with crazy flex.

For 35's you should not be having a problem... Sounds like you need a better quality spring.
