There are a few guys on here with the leveling kit, flat fenders, and 35's. The flat fenders are a must for anything over 33" IMHO.

Oh they will fit for daily driving purposes, but they will rub like crazy off road. My 32's would rub up front with the leveling kit (I have since gone higher). So I am just saying if the jeep will be offroading, flat fenders (or trimmed stockers) are a must if you go over 33's.

I see you have:
ProComp 16x8 Series 97's with 265/75R16 Cooper S/T's
I run the:
15x8 MB72 19mm offset with 35" Mickey Thompson tires
I just did them so I haven't had a chance to see what room I have, once I get off road.
What is the off set on those Pro comps?

The main issue is the leveling kit does not have dropped bump stops. So the tire will still move up as far as it did when stock. I now have 2.5" dropped bump stops (running about 3" of total lift upfront) so I no longer have the issue.

My goal with my leveling kit on my Rubi with my new Bushwacker flat flares I just got delivered to me today (Thanks Bustabizz!!) is the lowest center of gravity rig possible with FULL FLEX running between 33.5" and 34.1" X 11.5" to 12" mounted measurement tires. My wife is 5'2" and I have a 4 1/2 year old son. This is our daily driver and toy so the lower the better for them. I am loving the Toyo Open Country M/T 17's that come in around 34.1" and the Nitto Trail Grapplers that are about 33.5" So, that's where I'm going with my build. Yes, aftermarket wheels for proper backspacing of course.

Ive got the kit in and am wanting to tackel it myself. I've seen that you can instal this lift without removing the tires. My question is what jack would be best for this? I would assume the stock jack wont be tall enough? Do I need a high lift? or just a standard 2 ton floor jack?

thanks
