I have my 35's ordered with 3.75"bs 15" rims. I have a 2" bb lift and sahara fenders. Am I going to have problems or should I be ok until I can grow the balls to cut my fenders.

on the road, prob ok, off road u will have lots of rubbing and may rip ur fenders off unless u extend ur bump stops.

35
I just got a 2.5 inch Rough Country suspension lift and put 33s on. They said 35s would fit no problem. So far I have no complaints. It rides smooth and there is not too much noise from the tires.

I just put Goodyear MTR Kevlar 35 12.5R17 under my 2Door Rubicon and they rub (A LOT!!) I have used a BFH on the pinch seam and cut the factroy rock rails 1 1/2 inches.
The rubbing is in the rear wheel well (rubbing on the front and on the top of the fender flares) I am running AEV’s Savegre Wheels with a 4.7" back space.
I am about to pull the trigger on a 2" lift.

a lil extra tid bit
im not disagreeing with anyones input here, but I figured I would add something else. I went with the Rough Country 2.5" BB about 2 years ago, and now I am getting ready to swap it out. My jeep is still my daily driver for another year so I couldnt go all out with it. I have ran this on the stock wheels and rims, but I ended up getting the Rough Country shocks to go with it. That is something I would advise against. The ride from them was so rough on and off road was ridiculously rough with even the smallest bumps. Now I have also seen some debate on if bad shocks can cause or contribute to Death Wobble. After what I have went through with it, i would definately agree that it certainly has the potential to. I also just purchased new 33 inch tires to throw on. I dont think I will go over 3 inches of list for a while, but I am definalte ygoing to get a higher quality smaller lift. I would say budget boosts are fine for those who are staying street with their jeeps, but otherwise.. spend a lil more money at first to save yourself a lot of money in the long run.

hmmm... i was trying to avoid the 3" + route as a lot of posts i read were suggesting a lot more parts and problems with that much lift... so what gives?
Just differing opinions or ?
I was planning on a 2.5 " TF lift kit with shocks, TF adj. front trackbar, TF adj. front lca's, TF c-gussets, TF steering stabilizer... I mean I was planning on putting in quite a bit parts anyways.... the only thing I really was trying to avoid is any replacement of driveshafts.... I only do some light trails and mud trails for the most part when i am offroad but mostly just pavement driving... so I had hoped that by sticking to 2.5" of lift I could avoid that with 35's. Was planning on a superchips and gears at some point as well I suppose.
Should I just do that 3" lift then instead and hope for the best, lol. I have a 2 dr, 6 speed if it matters. Just trying to make a plan before I start and save up accordingly so im not doing double parts!
