Default 2" lift and 34's?

will 2" rubicon express lift allow 34's to flex with no rubbing? Anyone running this setup?

Thanks in advance.

2" will be enough to clear 34's but you will most likely have some light rubbing. I have a 2.5" lift and hear is how much room I have in the rear at full flex. Its about a 1/4" at the most.

According to the specs, they actually measure 33.8" for the 305/70-17. This is pretty common though, none of the 315/70-17's actually measure 35" either and are actually around 34.5"

I'm running the 2" Full Traction BB and 307/70/17's (34's) and have minimal rubbing at full flex on the trail. Not enough to damage anything though. You can see pics in my gallery.
