I had 35's on mine with no changes and I was fine... but if I started to wheel her I would hit my rubi rails....
If I put 5 people in the truck I would hit the rails...
I ended up cutting them 3 inches...
Now if you put in those rear lower ? I think ?
in then you might not have to cut the rails at all....
but I had to cut mine because I dont have control arms... YET!
WOOHOO

JKKAT, you may have only used stock arms but the OP has twice the lift you are running, so he is in a whole different situation.

The need to adjust castor is based on lift height, not tire height. You may want to toe in a bit, and you may have more issues with rubbing, but the flightyness/bumpsteer/etc should remain unchanged.

WOOHOOLooking forward to seeing you guys @ RC this weekend.
My experience: since the BFGs are a little smaller they have so far cleared my Unlimited's rubi rails and pinch seam. looks close but clears. DtownJK is running a similar setup and I'm pretty sure his clear the rails/pinchseam. I think Joe's shoes are bigger so he had to chop. You'll want to slap on some extended bumpstops F&R if you don't have them already.
As noted earlier it will be totally driveable with the 35s... the flightiness just feels slightly more pronounced to me. I have TF front lowers on order so we'll see if that helps.
