Default Lift Installed / 35's on

Installed my 2" lift and my 35" KM2's fit great.
I only have a rubbing issue at full turn on the crappy plastic airdam in front. That'll come off as soon as I get a chance.

just get a 2.5 inch lift...it's perfect.
I was VERRY reluctant to do it, but I am happy with the result.

If you can run 35's with no lift and flat fenders, would that mean you can run 37's with 2.5" lift and flat fenders?

Yes...well, sort-of. Check the Planman's thread:

I have a 2.5" lift with 35" km2 tires. I also have bushwacker flat fenders. I have no rubbing issues at all. You will need a 4.5 backspacing. Here's some pics.

I'm fairly certain you the only thing stopping a stock jeep from running 35's are the fender flairs and your backspacing with stock rims, so you can do flat fenders or a cheap budget boost to give you a few inches or a body lift and fire on some 1.5" wheel spacers to finish it off

I have the TF2.5" BB with Bushwacker flat flares. I just went to 35's yesterday and have no issues whatsoever.
