Ok so I am pretty sure I have read enough to feel ok about this but want to ask point blank

I am getting my Rims and Tires tomorrow and need to get home with no lift will I be OK on the street to get home.

2015 JKUHR

4 inch lift is a week away

I will be triming my rocker rail about an inch before and pinch seams look fine I have 4+ inch from the top of the 275/70r17s on it now but I just want to feel better is someone has done it before

Good news, yeah I've also found that buying the Jeep was the cheap part. Way too many goodies out there just waiting for me

you will be fine bro.. you dont need a lift on a JKU to run 35's... I run 315/70r17 duratracs.. no lift.. and wheel it.. get a little belly rub.. trim your fenders... and you can use a 2.5 lift and save a lot of heart ache and repairs in the future.. remember...LCG.. Low Center Of Gravity..Click image for larger version

looks nice. Can I ask why you are going with a 4" lift with 34" tires? That's a lot of lift! I would not go above 2.5" if I were you. It will look better(my opinion), drive better, cost A LOT less and perform just as good if not better.
You aren't playing on rocks with duratracs so why all the belly clearance?

1. Im in Arizona LOTS of rocks
2. Its going to be a 3.5 lift not a 4 I know about the same but still (RE kit and from what I have read and asked its not a 4+ kit like some others that say 3.5)
3. Armour and winch to come so it will settle some (Doing full Artec kit)
4. Break over
5. I like the look of a JKU at 3-4

Also doing a High steer to keep the roll center lower for stablity (RHD Drag link with insert have the axle side track bar bracket already sitting here)

But points taken
