35" tires
Anyone running 35's with a 2.5 Teraflex lift? I am ready to move up to 35's from my 33's, and was wondering if anyone had any problems with clearance or other suspension issues. I ran 35's on my 09 "X" with a 2.5 and had no problems. I am driving a 2011 Rubi Unlimited.

Just installed mine 2 days ago. At full turn on the wheel while backing up, I'll barely rub the corner of my plastic air dam on my 07 Rubicon. I currently have the factory flares removed and am in the process of installing flat flares. I broke the top bolt on my front shocks so I'm waiting to get replacements installed tomorrow. Because of that, I haven't been able to take it out anywhere and test out the setup. Hope to do some wheeling this weekend. Here's what it looks like as is...

My 315/70-17 Duratracs never hit the pinch seam on my Unlimited - before I put the BB or after.
I can't see that being an issue.
I rubbed the inner fenders at the rear until I got the BB on in level driving just getting the thing home. 
Rubbed on the front and rear control arms and the front sway bar until I got the spacers on (stock rims) but no biggie.

I've been studying up on the 35's (it's my end goal) and a lot of people who have them run the 2.5" lift with minimal, if any, rub. The small chance of a rub gets removed when you get flat fenders.
At least, that's what I figured out from spending weeks reading and drooling (still haven't gotten around to actually ordering a jeep yet, myself :P )
