Default 35's How much lift?

Hey guys today I scored 7 used 35' BFG AT KO's for free . Now my question is with a 3' lift and obviously some trimming of the wheel wells can I fit 35' tires without rubbing too baddly? I know I'll need some wheel spacers but what else will I need? I have all the parts for a 3' lift except for shocks.

you can fit them probably with extensive fender trimming and some hefty bumpstop extensions you can try it and then if need be you can add a Budget boost coil spring spacers and shacles if needed you will also need to regear at that tire size probably at least 4.56 maybe higher

Ok I think I will hold off on the lift untill I can come across some more parts..I'll need more leaf springs and a set of springs to go with the spacer I have already. An yea I know about re-gearing .. thats something else that will hold me off...this is an ultimate budget lift....soo far all the parts I have i got for free lol
