It's doable but may rub a little at full turns. I'd recommend a mini lift/budget boost for this if you want it to be bolt up and go.

I have read a lot about rubbing and my 2" bb not being big enough for the 35's but I had it at full flex this last weekend and did not rub a bit.

I ran my 33x12.5x15's on stock suspension for about a week and had zero rubbing issues. I did some minor forest service type roads while still stock.

yea im trying to get wheels and tires before I get a 2.5" lift (preferably coil)... could be a little while until I can afford the lift so I am trying to do it as smart as possible. Technically I dont need to go wheeling until august when I have vacation down in NC on the 4wd beaches, I was hoping to run it stock with the 33s down there

I will try to find some pics for you. It will work fine until August. With the offset you will not even have to trim the airdam!

this past sunday, i went wheeling on stock 2dr sport suspension with some 33x12.5 dick cepek crushers. they were borrowed so im not sure what the backspacing of the rim was, but it was enough cause i never heard anything when turning on flat ground. i only rubbed the fenders when fully stuffed. Usually when stuffed and turning, but the rubbing was pretty minor. id imagine a 1" body lift would stop that.
