With the added weight of all aftermarket parts, a 4inch lift def. helps.....i've maxed out my flex with a 4inch lift and 35's....just speaking from my experiences. I would want more lift then needed so you dont run into problems. If I were keeping 35's, I would add a little more lift to it.

I Definitly got 4 inch's of lift from mine....I just think if you want the flex you will have it with a 4 inch lift. There is nothing wrong with 2.5 or 3 inch lifts, just my thoughts. Everyone has there own opppinion of how they look

not true at all. most 4" lifts are way too tall for 35's on a JK and it will not only make your JK look like a rollerskate but it will also raise your center of gravity unnecessarily.
for 35's, i would recommend 3" of lift and you will have plenty of flex. trust me, i speak from experience here. pretty much any 3" lift will do the job well or, a 2.5" budget boost and 1" body lift will do the trick too.

And here is one showing a bit of flex, not even hitting the bumpstops yet...
I mean if you are looking to "clear" 35s with no rubbing, my choice would be the 4, plus you have the added benefit of upgrading to 37s if you see them necessary in the future. And if you are serious about mud you may appreciate the extra height!

I think a nice wide stance and a low cog is the way to go. I've been trying to do as much research as a possible for when I buy my upgraded long arm lift. I want it low with just enough room to stuff some big tires. I plan to ditch the 37's and get 40's eventually.

I personally think a 4" is the way to go. Easy to clear 35s, I get no rubbing anywhere. As far as the roller skate look, I really don't think it looks roller skatish at all...here is a pic of my lift, and I don't even have a winch yet...
