Default So, who's clearing 35's with their OME lift?

Had the first chance to go out wheelin yesterday since I installed the lift. Running a 33x12.5 on a Pro Comp wheel with 4.5" BS. Absolutely stuffed the Right front and had it on the bumpstop. Looks like a 35 will be tight but should clear. Does anyone running this setup have any rubbing issues or any tips? I also have a 1/2 spacer up front to level it out. The 5.13's and 35x12.5's are next and I just want it to go as smooth as possible Forgot to mention, I have the LT kit from Northridge so I do have bumpstop extensions.

Hopefully some people will chime in with first hand info. Worse comes to worse you could add a BL.

I have the OME HD kit, and running 35's.
Its tight. With the swaybar connected you are okay, but disco and you will rub.
You could put in bumpstops and get away with it, but I think I am going to trim my fenders for a little extra room.

Cant beat the ride though!

are you rubbing with the 35's? Did you install the bumpstop extensions?

I have 3/4" spacers on top and still rub my 34's on the upper fender. I'll get around to trimming before long. (I have lower bumpstops, but since my springs are not over-compressing, I'll be trimming instead of adding upper stops)
