Default Question about Bushwacker Flats and 35s

Does anyone know and/or have pics of a 2 door JK with 35s and flats? I want to start my build on my 07 jk X with thats bone stock and was wondering for the time being till I can save more can I just run 35s with just bushwacker flat fenders? I plan on more later but want to get the 35s on ASAP. I would also like to know what you guys think would be the cheapest and decient level or small lift. I plan on mostly DD and weekend trails and mud... Thanks for any pics and/or advice...Also I will prob be adding the RC hybrid stubby winch bumper...

with flat fenders, yeah, you can do it. you'll need to run wheel spacers to help prevent rubbing the rear sway bar link ends and of the frame and front sway bar at a full turn and, you most likely rub your airdam if you haven't already removed it but, yeah, it can be done.

Kind of a "poser" shot, but here is my Jeep with 35" tires and Bushwacker flats as you requested.

Here's a couple pics of my buddies with 35's. I've also got 35's and am going to get these fenders.

took us a few hours. The rears took 10 minutes each. The fronts about an hour. We did find a wiring issue....the LED marker lights in the BW were wired backwards. blk was hot and white - ground. LOL.

I do suggest having a long extension or nut driver to secure the backing nut on the marker lights. it would make it easier.

all in all a fairly simple install.
