I have been running the 3" BDS lift with 35x12.50x18 Duratracs for 1.5 yrs with no issues at all.

Thank you for choosing BDS Suspension Systems. We do offer a spacer kit when added to the Jk and removing the factory coil isolator will net 1" of total lift height. I would recommend you add the front adjustable track bar when adding 1" to the 3" system. The part numbers are listed below, please let me know if you need anything else.

024203-spacer kit, remove OEM isolator to gain 1".

124403 Front track bar

Anyone tried this ???
I installed RC 3.25" on my buds jkur once he got 35s we cycled the suspension and found out we had to add 1" of bump stop so the 35s won't rip off the stock fenders. since he didn't want to go any higher our cut his fenders we added a hockey puck as a bump stop worked like a charm. This rc kit didn't/doesn't come with bump stops maybe yours does. I say cycle your suspension yourself and you will find out of they will clear. Oh and just remember that the higher you go the more suspension components you will have to buy. The only reason I say cycle your suspension is because this 3.25" RC lift says it recommends 35x12.50 perfectly and it didn't.
