Default Clearing 35's with OME LT kit?

So I just installed the OME LT kit a couple of weeks ago and it sure looks like I can clear 35's, but I'm wondering if this is actually the case? I also put on a 1/2" spacer up front because I still had a little rake to it. I'm currently running a 33x12.5 on a Pro Comp wheel with 4.5" backspacing. Wanting to mount some 35x12.5's on the same wheels and install some 5.13's. I've seen that quite a few are running 35's with this kit according to their sig pic, but does anyone have any rubbing issues? Don't need a 1" body lift either right?

I believe Dave from Northridge says you can....the LT kit comes with the bumpstops that are needed to get the 35's under there with no rubbing....give him a call.

Are you not happy with the 33s or just want a little bigger meats?

I really like the tires themselves, just want a bigger tire to fill out my now quite a bit larger wheel well and gain more clearance

you can clear them but as mentioned, you will want to run bump stop extension as among other things, they will help to prevent the rubbing of your fenders at a full flex.

I am running 35's on my 2dr with this kit. I rub barely on the front bumper sometimes while backing up and cranking it over. Fixed it with a pair of pliers. Love the set up, looks great, drives great!

I have this kit from Northridge4x4 with 35" and love it. I was amazed how well my jeep did with it in Moab this year. Bump stops are a must to prevent rubbing, unless you do the fender cutting WayOfLife just did on his.
