I just got my new 35s today and they look great no rubbing yet but I might have to trim the back of the front fender because of how close it is for offloading. It still moves pretty well on stock gears and mpg is decent. Here's before and after pics.







After



Before

 

How ? I spent countless hours trimming my friends Rough Country 4.5 inch lifted 1995 XJ so his 33 inch Goodyear duratracs would fit..... Couldn't turn with no trimmimg

 

I can't see the difference, what did you run before?

 

i had 33s before

 

I love it. I can't wait for my 33s to wear out. 35s are next. I am also at 4.5in and have plenty of room. That looks perfect.

 

He is trimmed. I think he meant to say he needs to trim more behind the front tire.

 

Sweet! I'm picking up my 35's next week I'm also on 4.5" lift

 

35's are awesome. that really looks sweet. but u guys runnin 35's on stock diffs are just waiting for the grenade to go off. but it does look killer.

 

on a Dana 35 yes, D30/8.25 no. This has been discussed numerous times, 35s are perfectly fine on D30/8.25.

Anyway to the OP I like it except the bumper... this is all i see when i look at it.

 

I'm running 35s on a D30 locked with 4.88s and wheel the crap out of mine. Its all about wheeling smart and not trying to lead foot it over everything.

 

very true. i would just be worried everytime i was out.lol. but i agree..locked, geared and smart wheeling... u should be good.

 

Just carry spare shafts, and dont run cromos or you'll just be replacing ring gears. its easier to replace shafts. infact takes no time at all.

 

Thanks for the input guys I have a d 30 and 8.25 so I should be ok if I don't beat on it. I have 3.55s now but I plan to regear in the future

 

What tires are those? I plan on getting a 4.5" lift but looking at running 32"s with the original flares for now

 

Looks good except for the hub caps..........
