Put 1-3/4 spring spacers up front today and it leveled out the front with the rear and I have so daystar bump stops going in so I can go off roading and not worry about rubbing the hell out of my front tires.

The rear wheel wells have been cut out about 40% but still retains so strength with the unibody but the 35s go up in to the rear nicely

Can someone explain the benefits of fitting 35's without a lift? Lower CG, or just to get a couple more inches off the ground on a budget? I'm not being a wise guy, I am just new to all this.

Mostly it is lower CG I am after, I am about to do long arms up front rubicon express and their belly transmission crossmember/brace and bigger bump stops in the rear with longer travel shocks I have 3 in longer travel shocks up front already, but I am not going to lift it any if I can get away with it... The long arms are to help with flex and ride quality
