As I said, probably best for everyone to check with the setup they have.
I checked mine and could not get it to contact. I feel comfortable with it.
When I get a lift I will feel even more comfortable.
My .02 so take it or leave it. No hard feelings.

Stop with the pinch seam trimming posts.
It is most likely NOT needed.
I have 35s with no lift and flexed it to check. It will NOT contact the pinch corners!
Now my 35s are on the small side (duratracks) so I recommend flexing your setup and checking but posting that triming pinch to fit 35s is requiered is simpley not accurate.

my .02My understanding is that when you lift a jeep and keep the OEM control arms, your axles are going to shift inward the higher you lift it.
Since I believe most folks go with at least a 2.5" lift for 35s, I think it is very good advice to examine the pinch seam.

my .02Did you take into account the bulging effects of low PSI in the tires when you did your clearance check? I, for one, plan to trim my pinch seams just a little more.

Sorry for the Thread jack but I figured it was a good place to ask....
I was planning on 33's with stock suspension maybe some bw flats but I can get a good deal locally on some used km2's. So can I fit 35 km2's with bw flats and the teraflex spacer leveling kit? Trying to keep it low budget. Thanks in advance

Note that the inner piece of sheetmetal is now bent down--no longer straight--caused by the tire's contact with it. Honest, folks, trim the pinch seams--even a little more and higher up than I did.

I know this because that is my plan once my current tires wear out.
