x2 on angle grinder and a cut off wheel. Takes about 30seconds

 

I've got a 2012 JKUR with 2" AEV spacer lift. 35x12.5R15 Goodyear MT/R with Kevlar on 15x8.5 Level trackers. Flexing it out on a snow bank the rear tire was up against the pinch seam/rubi rail, and in driving with 4 adults in, I've heard it hit a few times over speed bumps. So I trimmed 1.75" off the rubi rail and angle cut the pinch seam.

Tire stuffed and hard against the rub rail:


Trimmed, painted, and filled with JB weld

 

To be perfectly clear, the rear is my only concern?

The front side of the rear is the only concern with 35s. However, you may not need to touch it. With so little lift, your axle won't be pulled forward much. I had 35" Duratracs on my Jeep and didn't need to cut it.

You can safely put the tires on and then see what needs to be done. Cycle the suspension and if it's close, trim it.

 

Thanks, everyone. Felt a little adventurous yesterday. Went ahead and cut. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
