i have the 2.5 coil spacer and 295/70/17 nittos that measure out to right at 34", 35" tires are not true 35" tires so the height is about the same, anyway ive wheeled and i dont rub at all. i dont have any aftermarket bump stops, but then again im in a 2 door.

Depends on the tire and manufacturer. There are some that are true 35" but your right the majority are not. I've read a couple threads a long time ago bout some measuring a little more that 35. It really all depends.

I had to replace my front DS within 2-3 months after installing this lift. the front DS was slinging grease fro the boot near the transfer case.

If I have to replace my front after putting my new 2.5" RK springs on then I'm going to be pissed as well that I didn't go 3.5".

That I am! I have an 08 auto JKU. It would be ok if I left my skid plate off and didn't plan on wheeling at all but that's not happening.
