So many people are running the RC 2.5 BB and 35's on the forum that wheel daily and don't have problems. I also hear that the coil lifts give you even more lift then the Spacers are suppose to I don't understand why 35's would have such an issue ??? TF's 2.5 Coil is not giving people with 35's issues that I hear of. Also a 1" body lift for added clearance will not hurt your Jeep if needed. I have ran one for 15 years on my CJ and never had a problem..

I know. The thing is, there's no definitive answer here about this; it's fairly intermittent. Some have no issue, some do, some only rub at full flex.

I aired on the side of caution and ordered Procomp 33's, instead of the Firestone 35's. I'm not really into ripping off fenders and such. [/hijack]

I also have the rc 2.5 coil lift. With cut fender flares will it rub with 35" tires with 4.0 or 4.5 bs wheels?
