Default Pics of 35s under a 2" MOPAR Lift

I had a 2" MOPAR lift installed under my 2012 Unlimited Rubi shortly after it arrived and I'm in the market for some tires.
Are any of you running this lift with 35s?
If so please post some pics and let me know if you have any rubbing issues.
Thanks!

In stock trim he didnt really have any rubbing issues on the road, but would have rubbed like crazy i'm sure offroad. We trimmed his pinch seam for peace of mind as the tire had almost no clearance when stuffed. (That being said, his Fierce tires are a load range E tire i think, and actually measure pretty close to a full 35"). With the flat fenders he's got some room to play now. Hope this helps!

2" Mopar lift with 295/70/18 - Only slightly off of a 35" - rubbed my factory skid plate on full lock when I first got them - so changed the bumper .

Thanks guys, my ARB Deluxe bumper is inbound so the stock skid plate will be out of the picture, but I also wanted to make sure it didn't look to crazy with 35s as well.

Very nice.. What did the dealer charge you for the 2" Mopar Lift. I take it it is covered under warranty correct?

Nice setup.. did the dealer install your Mopar Lift. How much?

How did it ride with that tire size. I was thinking of going to that 34"ish size but worried about the ride and mpg. What was your experience? Thanks

It was dealer installed but I bought it used. It was the General Manager's daily driver. I think it rides great! I test drove stock up to a 6" lifted Jeep. I really like the way this one feels. Had I been doing it myself, I would have gone a little bigger probably but at this point I don't want to make any changes due to how nice it rides. MPG is what it is with these things - not a DD for me so not a big concern. Good luck!
