Default 4in long arm kit on 35's and flats

I'm looking at a 4 inch long arm lift.
I'm have the rubicon gears and flat fenders and I would upgrade to 35s

What do you guys think?
Anyone have pictures?

I think you should be looking at 5.13 gears. There are thousands of photos on this site and other of lifted jeeps. Can you tell the difference from a poser shot 20 feet away? 35's with flats and 4" of lift is going to look kinda dumb on a 4 door, it is too much space between the tires and fenders. A leveling kit or simple 2" lift would be more then enough to run that size tire.

I've heard a lot of people say the same thing. But I have a leveling kit + 33's with the flats and they get not even an inch away from rubbing. I love the gap I have now but I do need more lift. would a 3 inch with the 35's do?

If that is what you want then do it, its your jeep. The long arm kit will be fine at 3" or 4" although I don't like the teraflex rear long arm set up. I have no idea what you are looking to achieve with the new suspension so my guidance is pretty limited.
