You would need spacers. You're gonna rub. Flat fenders would fix this. Most people people go with about 4.5" back spacing. 15"-17" rims are most common.

With 2 feet of lift you should be fine unless you drive side ways on hills or in cross winds for that matter. I know what you meant but couldn't help myself.

You're going to have a monste0EROUS JEEP. 35 foot tires and a 2 foot lift.

You're going to blow Planman's Low Center of Gravity rig to DUST.

I don't think 35 foot tires will fit with just 2 feet of lift


Seriously, though if you go with a 2.5'' lift, like the TeraFlex or the Rock Krawler, 35'' tires will fit fine. You might have some slight rubbing, but just trim your fenders.

Ya you're right. Maybe if he add's a 1 foot body lift and some bump stop extensions w/ flattie fenders he'd be good to go?
