Default info on running 35's

I'm running a 011 jku with the teraflex leveling kit, right now I have 33's on 16 in rims. Does anyone know if I will have to go higher to fit 35'S. I also have tera flex quick disconnects.

I have the Teraflex spacer leveling kit, 10A springs and 315/70/17 Duratracs on mine and everything fits fine.

Flats? Bumpstops? Backspace?

Right now I'm running 35's with flat fenders and no lift. Aftermarket wheels with 4.5 inch backspacing

315/70/17 Duratracs and TF 2" 1" leveling kit and no issues. I just cut my fenders and am going to install a TF 2.5" coil lift next week, just because i want more clearance.Click image for larger version

I haven't bought the tires yet, I have stock flairs, high rock front bumper full size with winch and stock rear bumper. Just put rubi rear shocks on because I got a good deal on them other than that and the levelers the suspension is stock.

If you are not adding lift height, then you will probably want to either chop your stock fenders or move to flat fenders.
Depending on your usage, you may still want taller bumpstops to keep the tires from moving up too far and contacting the flares.
Depending on the backspacing of your current rims, you will probably want to either add wheel spacers, or new rims with less backspace, to move the taller/wider tires out of the wheel wells.
I haven't seen that bumper, big tires have been known to rub on full width bumpers. Depends on the lift height/tire size/particular bumper.

My 35's rub slightly in the rear when coming off something high and fully compressing the suspension and I have a 3.5" RK lift
