Im sure you would need to cut the rubi rails and pinch seems. Also depends on what flares you are running.

I don't think you have to cut the rubicon rails, and yeah if your talking about 35's and no lift with metal bumpers, I would highly recommend getting at least a spacer lift.

If you are going off road, you will need to trim the rail and pinch seam. You will also need at least 1 1/2" wheel spacers if you are using factory rims or you will rub at full turn. Here are some photos of 35" BFGs on stock wheels with a leveling kit.
