Default Lift to clear 35's with coil spacers and blocks!?!?

Ok, well its simple, im trying to clear 35's on my jeep with coil spacers (stacked) and blocks in the rear. BTW i dont give a duece, as long as it runs without blowing up.. im good, so i dont want to hear any softies saying "your crazy". A few things Things: Will this work to clear 35's? how many should/could i do to stack to fit the tires....i can cut my fendersalso, i dont care.. and what do i need to do after i install the spacers and blocks, as far as installing longer brake lines, TC, drop, ect. seeing that my xj is stock besides the coils, lower control arms, add a leaf, and one block underneath. i have a 4 inch skyjacker lift on 31's now.. i dont know how to post a picture so just look at my pictures and youll see a picture of the coil spacers.. the are 3" each.

if you dont care if we think your crazy than why do you want our proven knowledge on other stuff you need to clear 35's...honestly you need a lifted jeep like i need a hole in my head...and this doesn't belong in this section and posting in every section we got aint necessarily going to get you an answer

if you have a 4 now add 2 more inches and cut the hell out of the fenders. you should get rid of the add a leaf and stack blocks to total 6 inch lift. three two inch blocks stacked would be real nice in there. as for the front put stock springs back in and go to a junk yard and get as many of the spring isolators as possible then stack them up. you shouldnt have to adjust the steering/toe cause you are using stock parts to lift it. to clear them the best you should put the 35s on stock wheels.

Nah.. 35s wont rub on stock wheel back spacing lol. but to be a complete package and to go along with the lift real well then i suggest getting four 3 inch wheel spacers!

Remove the front fenders all together and most of the rear. Then throw on 35's and whatever you didn't cut will get "rubbed" off by the tires. Ohh make sure you run Goodyear Kevlars as the Kevlar will keep the tire from being cut by the hacked up rear fenders.

The above statement about the Kevlar tires is a joke and should not be taken seriously by anyone. The key is trimming, and bumpstops. Here is 4" and 37's:
