Default Teraflex Leveling Kit w/ Bushwacker Flats and 35's

Hey Guys,

I have the Teraflex Leveling Kit and Bushwacker Flats.

I am going to be installing 315/70/17 Duratracs soon.

The tires will be on AEV Pintlers so I should be ok for width.

Will I need extended bumpstops in the rear? If so how much do you figure?

Anything else to watch out for?

You can run 35s using flat flares with stock front bumpstops.

However, without a fair amount of cutting, you'd want 2" or more rear extended bumpstops.

With a 1" body lift, you'd only need about 1" rear bumpstops.

So, start with a flat flares and a 1 inch body lift, with 1 inch rear extended bumpstops.

If you hit your rear bumpstops too often, then add a leveling kit that raises the rear 1+".
And BFH or cut the pinch seam in front of the rear tires.
