So I've got a 96 XJ with a 4 1/2" rubicon express lift and I'm currently runnin 33" AT I want to shove some 35"MT but I'm not sure how to get around the rubbing problem without having to go any bigger on the lift. Any suggestions?

Im running a full traction 6" long arm lift with ACOS, cut fenders, and 33's and I still hit the top of the fender when flexing. Kit says it's good for 35's with fender trimming but I guess I need some limiting straps or more trimming. If that's the case then I need to remove the windshield washer fluid reservoir.

So then I'm gnome have to do some
Pretty extensive cutting of my fenders to get away with 35"s then if that will even work.

I've seen some decent cut jobs out there, so with some trimming and good bumpstops you should be ok.

The pieces that are in the middle of your coil springs that prevent the axle from moving too far upward. Some are poly, some are metal.
