Default does my logic make sense?

So theoretically 35's fit stock with some trimming. So with a 2.5 BB they def would fit... sooo.. with another 2" of a body lift you should be able to fit 37's. I mean its only another inch of tire height right... additionally, wouldn't it mean not as much wear on parts due to there not being as large of angles? I understand it won't be as good as a long ARM SYSTEM offroading, but I think as a daily driver it might not chew through parts as fast.. of course u would still have to regear ect... let me know your thoughts.

Your height logic is right, but it will add 1" towards the front and 1" towards the back too.
