Answer is 33s. I ran 35" MTZs without a lift for short while. Although fine as daily driver by myself, but you WILL rub on the rear tub with off-roading articulation and/or any buddies along for ride.

So my take is 33s with no issues, and 35s if you don't wheel or are willing to make some low/no cost trimming.

I'm considering 35s with flat fenders and a leveling kit.

Is it the TF kit... If so I think you will be ok with 35's and flat fenders.... You might want bump stop extensions...

There is another guy on here (forget the user name, its a redrock 2dr) he is running 35's with zero lift with xenon flat fenders. Didnt look like he was rubbing much at all. Maybe the rear tubs, but that wont hurt anything.
