Those are 33” Mickey Thompson’s. I’ve not had I think full tilt stuff into wheel wells yet. No rubbing issues stop to stop on steering. Bump stops set at 2”. Wheeled up at Balanced Rock road. One section was huge dirt ruts and some deffo off camber. Sailed through the ruts and didn’t hear any tire rubbage or see signs of rubber in the wells.

You’re suggesting I need to chop the fenders though yeah?

Uh derp just realized you said 35”. Regardless should I need to chop?

You've got the Rock Sport shocks whereas I've got the Rancho's so our compressed shock lengths will be a little different. If you've got it dialed in then there's no need for chopping the flares. Frankly, you've got to do a decent cut on them otherwise you can end up with a flappy noise on the highway.

duh.....not gonna cause an issue stuffing tire cuz you're gonna be disconnected. Brain fart. Anyhow, that's not an issue on the pavement at all, and it's not gonna be an issue offroad when you're disconnected either.
