This was taken from the FAQ at the top of this page:

Q: What size lift do I need to get in order to fit 35" Tires?
A: I would recommend a minimum of a 2.5" budget boost but a 3" lift would be a better fit. You can also install a 2" budget boost and 1" body lift to get you there as well.

Thanks but I didn't ask if I needed a body lift, I asked if it would fit with some minor trimming

The answer is yes, a 2" BB with trimming your fenders will allow you to run 35's. As for 4" of BS, the answer is yes as well...

I use 2,0 BB and 35x12,5.
Before fender trimming, it rubbed when flexed off-road, no problem on-road. It is my DD.
After stock fenders chopped, I can flex with sway bar disconnected with NO rubbing!

Used to run 35's on a 1 3/4" BB and cut fenders. 4.5" B/S. No rubby rub.
