2.5" lift with stock fenders will rub with 35's?

No, he's saying with stock suspension you can clear 35's with flat fenders, or clear 35's with a 2.5" lift with stock fenders.

This is a 4" Currie with 3" bump extensions with 37's. 35's are 1" smaller in diameter. I don't think stock with flats will stop you from rubbing unless you use some huge bump stops and your on road performance will suffer greatly. And the last one is stock tires with 4" lift with flats.

All of those answers assume that you're going to run it off road and flex it. Seeing as this is in "talk" and not "modifed" I'll throw in the possibility that it'll be a DD. For a DD you can do 35's with no lift, no chopped flares.

Sorry for not posting in the right section... Just doing research as of now so when I get my jeep, I'll already know what I need to do.

It'll be driven off road for sure.

Do your research. The rubicon sits a little higher than the other models and I think when some of these companies advertise a lift it is on the sport model. The 3.5 RC lift is barely a 2.5 lift. From the hub to the fender is 24 inches. I also have after market bumpers.

Stock bumpers might need some trimming if you use stock suspension
