Yes, they are 35x12.50 17's. Had some minor rubbing at full flex but nothing too bad. Thought about adding some bumps stops but not bad enough rubbing to get worked up about.

You have disconnects. He does not. Makes a huge difference. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

Disconnected, you will rub...

This is with 2" lower bumpstops and 295/75/16's (32" actual height on vehicle), and I'm still rubbing. You're 35's will be about an inch taller, and an inch wider. Do the math...


And here is the coil without bumpstops

You shouldn't need any thing extra. I didn't ! I also ended up with almost 3.75" lift.

I guess if the rubbing is too much...I could add on a 1" to 1.5" spacers along with the coils or 1" BL. Are these HD coils the same length as the TF 2.5" coils springs?

I rub with my 285/ 32.8's.. whatever..
Now I have stock off set wheels, not good.. remedy
get wheels or spacers...
Still rubbing...? Get bumpstops 2.5' rear and I hear a 1" front works well confirmation on the last part is needed..
Still rubbing..?
Then get back to us where it's rubbing.
For me I'm cutting out my flares when I go 35's.

This thread might have some helpful information.

I have plenty of clearance for 35's with no rubbing at all - even when disconnected at full stuff and with aftermarket bumpers. I used the extended bump stops and extended brake line brackets from the TF BB kit. However, the OME lift will be slightly less with an Unlimited.
