To my surprise i do rub when the wheel is turned all the way in either direction. So to run 37's you would need flat flares. But with the 3.5 the 37's will look awesome. Also the pictures above with the 2.5 and 35'' mud grapplers looks more like the 3.5 to me or is the 2.5 with spacers because thats a big flare and tire gap for a 2.5 lift with 35's and a steel bumper with stinger, just sayin.

If you will never go bigger than 35s, get the 2.5
If you've ever considered 37s, get the 3.5

I know none of these are the lifts you are looking at but IMO stay away from the 2.5’ trying to run 35’s
I am running a 4” Rough Country with 18” wheels and 35’s right now I Got tired of the rub witht he stock fenders when wheelin every trip so I put the Smittybilt flat fenders on this weekend. Wheelin it Sunday to see if we got no rub…
2.5” Pro Comp lift BAD news for 35’s and stock Fenders
This little baby rock here
Did this to the rear…
This little incline
Did this to the rear…
4” Rough Country
4” lift and flat fenders waiting to flex this weekend gives you the idea don’t want to bore you…

I just bought the RK 3.5" Mid Arm kit last week from quadratec.
I will be running 35" to start but definitely considering stepping up to 37" in the future.
Good thing MTR's are back-ordered till late next month, sounds like I should be getting my lift in the mail around the same time ;o)
Just gives me more time to buy new toys.
