Default Optimal Lift size for 35 inch on Jeep JK unlimited

I am sure this has been asked a million times and here I am bringing it again what size lift is optimal for 35 inch tires.

I currently have 35 inch without any lift I did remove factory fenders and replaced with slimmer fender flares.

The tire still rubs on turns with arms I am thinking to do a lift but so confused on what size will be ideal for daily driver and some off-roading fun nothing crazy but do want to explore.

Asking jeepers for advice here.

Most people will do a 2.5" lift with 35s. What backspacing do you have on those Fuel wheels. You should be around 4.5" with 35s. If you're rubbing on normal pavement turns you can always add a couple washers to your steering stops in the knuckles.

A good 2.5" Kit would give you a little more clearance and increase your articulation.

https://metalcloak.com/jeep-jk-wrang...n-systems.html will give you everything you will ever need as far as a lift will go, restore the wheel base, give you caster correction, center the axles, increased articulation, and a really nice ride.

https://metalcloak.com/jk-wrangler-2...-lift-kit.html is a starter kit that you can add componets too over time if you want to get the above kit. It will give you more articulation, caster correction, and a good ride.

I install lifts and Metal Cloak is the lift kit company to go with. Quality, pricing, and ride quality are top shelf.
