Default Lift and tires help please

I want to run a 1.5 teraflex leveling kit with 315 70 R17 duramax tires. Will the 35's fit with no issues? I have a 2013 JKU. If anyone is running that combo can you throw up some pics? Thanks

I debated this set up as well for my 2 door... You would need to run flatfenders and 2" extended bump stops in the rear. Planman suggests 1" body lift, flatfenders and 1" extended bump stops in rear with wheels that have 4.5" back spacing.

Those tires are no where near 35 inches. I have the exact same tires and they measure 33.45 inches so they should fit just fine.

It depends on the brand of tire. I'm looking at some 315 70 17 tires that are 34.7 another brand is 34.4 some 35's run more true than others.

I just took this lift off my JKU. Ran 35'' Nitto grapplers on 18x9 XD Addicts.

No rubbing or scrubbing issues daily driving.

I considered running a 2" spacer kit with 35s on my jk but wanted to play it safe and went with 3". Now that I look at it I think a 2.5" would be perfect for 35s if u don't do much off reading.

Yea I have read the Duratracks are not 35, more like 34. I won't do heavy flexing, mostly trail riding to get to camping / fishing areas type stuff. It's going to be more expedition modded that rock crawler.
