No clearance issues on a 2 dr with the pinch Seam.

Hmm. With my 35s I've got a decent amount of clearance. I can easily get my hand in between the pinch seam and the tire.

Dang, I put on a 2.5 unlimited which is supposed to be a 3 inch and my hand barely fit. So I trimmed my seams!! Maybe I have bigger mitts than you?!?

35's don't measure 35 inches. BFG's are generally known to run small, and mtr/k's are generally known to run closer to spec'd height. So there could easily be an inch (or a bit more) in height difference between what you two are running.

Mine measure 34 inches mounted on stock Rubi rims on the jeep on the ground with 28 psi
I just like to point out that it was a big deal to me with less than 1 1/2 inch clearance between tire and seam running 35's. I would of went bigger lift I guess.

Teraflex 3 inch with 35 BFG is the way to go.

I cut 1.5" out of my rock rails and trimmed the pinch seam. I rubbed the rails a little and did the seams just to prevent anything from happening. No biggie. Took me about an hour to do it all. Now it still looks stock and I don't have to worry about it.


35" Goodyear MT/R's with 2.5" teraflex with Fox shocks and front lower and rear upper control arms is what I went with and couldn't be happier.

Thank you guys for your replies (biginBoca and Teraflex)

I'm trying to get away from using spacers.

I have a 4 door jeep.

Instead of adding 1/2" spacer w/ the 2.5 " front Springs Could i just use the 3" Spring in the Front ?

What final lift would I get keeping in mind the Heavy Bumper and Winch ?

Would it be less than 3" and a little more than 2.5" ?
