Default OME and 1" Body lift to make room for 35's???

Before I pull the trigger, I figured I would get some input from those in the know. I want to run 35's on my '08 Unlimited X. I have heard that the OME kit is exceptional, but may need a little help with 35's. Would a 1" inch body lift do the trick. Is there anything negative to take into consideration? I am thinking of picking up the OME HD kit, as I have already picked up a Rancho Rockgear front and rear bumper, and will surely be placing a winch on the front end.

Any thoughts on this?

i have seen guys running the OME HD with the extra stiff springs and 35's fine and you wont rub bumpers since you have new ones the BL will just give you some extra room to flex

OME with trimmed flares will do it for you.



Those are 33s, I know for a fact 35s will stuff perfectly when flexed.

I'm running the OME HD with 1" BL. I've only rubbed once when i fully compress over a sharp steep mogul (too fast). Never found the rub just the sound maybe it didn't rub at all.
