Cut flares just plain look better too If you're just doing it for show and not flexing/ wheeling it, then you can easily run 35's with 2.5" and stock flares or probably even a 1.5" leveling kit.

Nice rigs guys! I'm running 4 dr springs, TF leveling puck kit with 255's and 1.5" spacers. I know I can run 35's with that set up and might even trim fenders too. To the OP i'd look at TF 2.5" coil lift it boasts 3.1" Lots of guys running 35's with leveling kits too. Here's mine so far.

If you are going to run the stock wheels, pick up some 1.5 wheel spacers. That with a budget Boost should cover your clearance issues.

I'm running stock wheels with 34s. 1.5 spacers. 2" budget lift. The only time they touch is at full lock and its just the splash shield. Soon to trim that.

If you run stock flares and bump stops and disconnect for offroad, you WILL rub, period, with any 32.5"+ tire and only a 2" lift. (32.5" is mounted height)

Proof:
