If you chop your fenders or replace them with something with a bit more clearance (ie- xenon), you *can* run the 35's on stock suspension.

You will need new wheels or spacers though.

Instead of buying new fenders, buy a lift.

if you have a rubicon you can just cut your fenders. if not you can put 2 inch spacers and cut your fenders. i really like the cut fenders
