I used a 2" front/ 1" rear leveling kit which gave me about 1" front/ 1" rear lift due to my front bumper and winch. Still using stock fenders and wheeling almost every weekend. The only thing I've lost is part of my back bumper. Those fenders hold up great.

Teraflex Leveling Kit 127.99 @ Quadratec

Haven't touched my bump stops or seems.

I do attribute the lack of complications to my back spacing on my procomp wheels (3.5'" backspacing). No rubbing except when my tire lands hard off a rock or ledge. I've actually put off buying the 3" Teraflex lift for a while because I'm happy as is. Ultimately I do want to lift it, just not a priority at the moment.

I cleared my seams, but got some hard contact between tire and frame up front and inner fender in the back. Stock bumpstops, flat fenders, 4.75 bs with 325/65/18 tires.

Been running 35s for about 2 weeks now. They are very close to the RockRails, but no issues on the road. Planning on trimming them, pinch seem and adding lift for wheeling. Wheels are 4.5 inch back spacing 16X8 0 offset. Tires are 315/75/16 BFG KMs D load.

I've ben running 35s for over a year with no lift. My rock krawler lift is currently in the mail but that has baring on this subject-i just want to brag

Until i got my wheels with 4.5BS i had stock 17's with no spacer. The only thing i needed to be aware of was turning the wheel all the way. You can still turn it 90% of the way, just all the way rubs the swaybar(and thats not even that big of a deal).
Just dont do it ALL the time. Make wider turns.

I had to trim the "wings" off the air dam with a razor blade, thats the only trimming i've done. 37's iss where youll need to start trimming more.

Never a fender rub, unless flexing it out. Order your 35's, slap them on there, and not worry about it. Youll be getting your lift soon anyway.

Im looking at doing 35's with no lift. Actual size will be 295/70-18 (34.25X11.5). Light wheeling at best and rarely done. I have no problem working over the pinch welds and will have ~4.5" backspacing on the wheels. I would like to keep the stock fenders. If I absolutely HAVE to do a lift, how little can I get away with? 1" body or spring spacers?

thanks
