yes you can but you'll need to get some 1.5" wheel spacers to correct the backspacing issue's with the factory wheels with 35s. I would personally recommend just going with a Teraflex 2.5" budget boost, tons of people here on the forum run that and absolutely love it!

I completely agree with ^ORW on the TF 2.5" BB over the Mopar 2" kit. My brother paid $2500 for the 2" Mopar kit installed compared to my $300 for the TF 2.5" BB and my Jeep is taller than his! Yes he has Fox shocks and some more gadgets but its not worth it for only 2". It even ended up sagging after installing his bumpers and we needed to put 1" pucks on top of the coils to clear his 33's. IMO 2.5" is perfect for 33's, if you're going 35" tires then you should look at a 3/3.5" lift kit. My brother regrets his at least...

Mine is the black Jeep his is the red Jeep, both have 33" tires:

Love my teraflex 2.5" bb and 35" km2s. I'd recommend cutting fenders with either one. For $300 you can't beat it

Did you also get the teraflex adjustable trackbar? I had my lift put in yesterday and they are recommending that I get that for the jeep.

At 2.5" or less the shift in the axle is going to be minimal. 3/8's or even less.

I would keep your stock unless you have issues.

Pretty sure you can run 35's and no lift ( with flat fenders ).

You can run them with no lift. You need wheels!! Stock is too thin and you will get about 70 of tread life. A lot if wear in the center
