Can I fit 35's?
I am looking to get some nit to trail grapplers size 315/70r17. I was wondering what the best way is to fit them with my setup. I have a skyjacker 2 inch lift and trimmed fenders. I also am getting spidertrax 1.5 inch spacers. Is there anything else i need, or should this work.
Yeah, should be fine. You will need to trim the pinch seams. Probably need a new tire carrier too.
You don't list if you have a Sport or Rubi? If you have a sport, you should consider sleeve and gussets to reinforce the front D30.

Its hard to be completely sure, but potential areas of concern are rubbing on fenders at full flex and possibly rubbing on sway bar or frame at full turn. easy fixes are add 1/2" spacers to your lift (if you rub at full flex) or extend your bumpstops further if you haven't already. honestly with teh spacers, flats, and 2" lift you should be ok, but if it happens adjust at that time..
I had a similar set up where I was running 35's with a 2.5" BB but my fenders are not trimmed. I would rub when I would disconnect at full articulation even with the extended bump stops. I switched out to 3" coils and the fender rubbing has been reduced to only rare moments when I really push the articulation. I am also running 1.5" spacers and I took off the plastic air dam to help overall with the rubbing. My biggest reccomendation would be to gusset the C's before getting the tires to make sure you have the insurance. I think I have a bent C now and the temp fix is not cheap. I am officially saving for a Dynatrac Prorock 44 and will replace as soon as I can because I plan to continue to wheel the snot out of my jeep and I don't trust the Dana30 to last when it gets pushed. Good luck!
To specify I have an 09 X...and what exactly do you mean by gussets. A pic or instructions would be helpful. Also could I get away without trimming the pinch seam, I have rubi rock rails and I don't want to have to cut them

Just put on 2.5" lift and 315/70r17s AT. Have new wheels with less than stock backspacing, I believe new wheels are 5" backspacing. No rubbing issues at all. I was thinking I would have to cut the rock rails and pinch seams and trim the front air dam, but looks like do not need to do.
