Default 35s with no lift.

So I seen a lot of questions about the biggest tire with no lift. Ill chime in with an answer and proof. This is with minor trimming and cut and fold in the back. 35 1250 up front. Currently im running 33 950s up front and 35 1250s in the back untill my other 2 33950s get in.

It doesnt rub the inner fender at all? My 34x10.5's rubbed the front inner fender and the pinch seam when the tire came up at all. I'm assuming you trimmed the inner fender a good amount too then.

Cancel that, your lca's are in the stock position. Must be the trimming that through me off.

Do a flat belly conversion and some modifications here and there. Might be a pretty capable rig!

with the proper bumpstop it accualy does pretty good. its not the best. not much uptravel but i got droop. you can see in this picture how my rear axle even after me messing with it is still back a little. i plan on doing the tuck and fold on the rear llower quarter but the jeep is not staying like this. like i said earlier the 2 35's were just untill my other 33 9.50 comes in. and im running 33 9.50s becase 3 where free lol. and it just shows that 8 inches of lift are not needed for 35's. or any lift for that matter.
