Adjustable lower control arms can also be used to correct the clearance after a lift. Most lifts that come with them are slightly longer and have you adjust to a longer length than the stock arms to correct that issue. At least RE and SL ones do, I don't know about Full Traction.

I think the body should be bent back even on a non-lifted Jeep with stock tires. The way it looks from the factory looks bad. On the Rubicon it looks too close to the tire just sitting in a parking spot. I know it won't hit but I have had people who know nothing about Jeeps ask me if the tire was going to hit if I hit a bump.

Yeah, I was just throwing it out there since not everyone wants to start cutting and bending metal to make more clearance for 35" tires. If it bothers you then mod away, that's one of the big draws to the Wrangler, the ability to personalize and modify easily and just plain do what you want with it.
