Jks are a lot different then tjs. They only need 2.5 inches of lift to run 35s.

Why are you concerned with up travel ?

35's with 3.5"- 4" of height.

Up travel is a big part of rock crawling. So i dont want to hit and grind tires or fenders

2.5 and long travel shocks for down travel. Bumpstops will limit some up travel anyways.

I understand that the bump stops will help it but what about the od of the tires will they scub any where? And is a 2.5" big enough for medium rock crawling and daily driven on rubicob

I have 3.5 lift and 35s and is great as a daily driver and lite trail use. I personally think that if you are looking to put a 4-6 inch lift on ,35s look small. 37s would look good on a lift like that

I run 35s with a 2in and chopped fenders. Some guys run 40s with 6in long arms. 4 inch would be plenty for 35s. I'd go 37s or 38s.

I have a rough country 4" lift running 35"s and I drive it everyday everywhere I go I get compliments but as far as off roasting the only thing I did was beat the pinch seem over its really close to the tire but of course I have the smittybilt fenders if you are running stock fenders you might want to trim them as we'll for max wheel articulation
