Default 35's flat fenders and NO lift
Just put the 315/70r17's on today. I know I was always looking for pics/info on the setup so here it is!
They actually measure 34 and a quarter top to bottom. So far, no rubbing around town and I don't anticipate it. Might get a chance to go off road a bit this weekend.

Now we'll see how long I can go without putting that 3" lift on...

It looks pretty sweet! If you don't plan on running larger tires I would keep it that way for a while. You have the advantage of the low COG and it looks balanced. With flats and that much lift the tires will look small and out of balance IMO.

Got any pics? I like it the way it is but I can't deny the off road benefits of a aftermarket suspension. Maybe a 2" lift wouldn't be so bad? It's definitely nice with the low COG around town right now.

I like this look. To help it off road I'd find something in the neighborhood of 1-2" with some nice shocks.

Love the low cog look
