UNless you are using your stock wheels you should have no problem running 35's with the BB. Many folks on here are. I assisted in installing one with 35" tires. No problems at all.

The only reason I am kind of torn between the 3" and the 2.5" TF is because the 3" comes with more hardware, like bump stops and the rear tracbar relocation bracket. From what I understand when you lift the JK, the rear tracbar bracket is necessary as well as possibly an adjustable front tracbar.

I will suggest the skyjacker 3.5 ' you re goig to have the suspension with coils, shocks, brackets for the track bars, and you just going to spend like 100 dollar more tha with the TF BB ,I think its a better deal.

The TF 2.5 BB comes with the rear trackbar bracket, so no worries there. I am running 35's with no rubbing issues at all. TF recommends, as well as multiple other members, that if you keep the stock wheels, you need to add spacers, if you upgrade to an aftermarket wheel with 4.5 or 4.75 in backspacing, no spacers are needed.

Both TeraFlex 2.5" and 3" kits come with rear TB brackets. The 3" will lift your 2 door in the 4"+ range in the front. FYI there are 8 different 3" kits and 3 -2.5" coil kits. Download the catalog in my sig line for some pics.

Do your research before jumping into anything.
2.5 and a 1" body lift and your golden. 3" + suspension and your going to want to start looking at drive shafts depending on your a 2 or 4dr, auto or 6spd. Lots of threads on this.

I went with the RC 2.5" coil lift with their 2.2 shocks. I paid $329 and I absolutely love the ride so far. I did not need to get anything else done but I will only be an occasional offroader. I will be picking up my 35's next week. I will post after I do and let you know if there are any issues. I am getting the Procomps with 4.75" bs so I am hoping that I will not need spacers.
