I did for a while and for the most part, it did just fine. The rubbing I had was mostly up front under a full stuff and wheels turned.

So let me see if I get this straight:
To run 33s on factory rims, it is possible to without any lift but need spacers, not sure if any rubbing will occur?
To run 35s on factory rims, it is possible to with 2.5 inch lift but need spacers and may have slight rubbing in extreme conditions.
Running 3 inches of lift with 35s should eliminate all rubbing

Yes, and maybe just spacers up front for what it's worth.

eh... you'll get some rubbing when disconnected, extreme conditions not required

Not necessarily. Most 3" coil lifts run a bit taller than 3" and you should be good to go but if you are wearing a heavy front bumper and winch, you should know that your front end will sag a bit and slight rubbing may occur in extreme flex.

I'm running 32's on factory 17" rims. I'd be worried putting 35's on my wheels, but from what I've heard, 33's are no problem with the TF 2.5 and factory 17" wheels. I installed the 2.5", and I'm digging it. Squirrely on teh interstate in 70+ mph (Jeeps have the aerodynamics of a brick, and you've got to remember this...it ain't happy in Springtime wind), but this is a sweet BB. Stiff and sturdy. I have no complaints with the TeraFlex 2.5. I have full flex, and no problems. Disco'd, buhsept for better tires, I couldn't ask for a better ride. I would suggest TeraFlex 2.5" to ANYONE that owns a JK.

i just installed the black diamond 3" lift, like other kits it came with new rear sway bars and i used the factory rear sway bars on the front(which incidently were rubbing the tire prior to touching it) anyway..the kit came with a relocation bracket which i installed and it forced the flexible braline lower to extnd as my jeep flexs, however..the directions told me to carefully manipulate the bark line to avoid rubbing, so now from the top of my sway bar to my manipulated brake line is less travel than i have to the bump stop. I did not get real radical with my bending bu ti definately will have issues off road the parker store has fittings and such but i cant be the only one..am i?
