Probably. My kit sits at 4.5 front 5" rear with 31's and it rubs when i go down my driveway at certain angles. A little rub isn't going to hurt anything so you will be fine.

yeah if you don't care cutting. i got my fenders cut up to fit 33s with my 4.5" lift. but with 35s, rubbing won't be you're only problem..you'll run into gearing and all that good stuff.

They (will) (should) not rub on fender flares If you run the stock xj rim maybe. The ZJ canyon has enough bs to keep the rubbing away. Ask maxpower. I just put them on his. No rub.

Also were in NJ?

It depends on the backspacing of your wheels as well. I rubbed with totally stock suspension and factory flares with 29" bfg AT's. I trimmed a bit and put bushwacker flat flares on and was running 33.12.5 pro comp xterrains on wheels with 3.75 backspacing, on stock suspension with less rub then I had with my 29"bfg AT's.

Yep, knobby tires and my steep driveway don't like each other very much.
