Default 2" ome lift with 35" tires

Ok, I made the jump to 35" tires and I have an OME 2" lift. I know I have to trim my pinch seams and rock rails is there any thing else I have to do to run this set up? I am wondering what everybody else is doing because it looks pretty tight on the rear wheels. I still have the stock fender flares and am not opposed to trimming them.

I'm about to make this move as well, what kind of added weight do you have? Also are they the HD or LD springs? You will probably be fine for a DD but if you wheel at all I am almost certain you will need flats or trim the stock fenders.

I have the hd ome lift with 35's and just barely rub in the back at full flex but I do not disconnect my sway bar. I am sure that would make a difference. Mine are also on 15's.

You should need about 2" more bump stop with the factory fenders.

For bump stops you can always use hockey pucks. I know a lot of people that do that.

Nothing changed since 2007, other than minor trim at rear pinch seem for some '13s and most all '14s.
