Are you using wheel spacers? Looks to me like 37s would fit the way it sits if those are 35s on there.

IMO you have two choices, keep the rig how it is now and hold off on the lift until you wheel a couple more times and want to go bigger (believe me, it will happen) OR knock it out now and run 37's after you decide to do more wheeling or decide that your tires are too small. It is inevitable.....

Lift it and keep the body lift. I am running a body lift, spacers and flat flares with 33"s. It doesn't look that bad but I really need 35s

Im in the same spot except I have a teraflex 2.5 coil with shock lift installed on my jku. Also have a 1.25 bodylift sitting
In my garage. I'm just contemplating installing body lift. I want more lift. But don't want driveline problems etc.
And the guys on the forum are right you always want bigger or higher.
However you look at it.

I have a 2.5" lift with a 1" body lift and 35's....was going to do Bushwacker flats, but I have plenty of clearance without them and that extra space would only make me want 37s that much more. So my suggestion would be to install the coil and remove the body.

Do away with the body lift and go with only the coil lift and chop your stock fenders... Just my opinion!

^ agreed. Just save the body lift parts for when you get 37s in a couple years.

Im running flatties and teraflex 2.5 coil lift. If and when I add a 1" body lift itll be because im getting 37s. I think you have plenty of room as is looking at your pics
