Running 35s on shortarms??
Im planning on running 35s on my short arm with 4.5 coils does anyone have pictures of their jeeps with this setup?
I understand bumpstopping but am pretty worried about rubbing really bad on the fire wall.
Anything i can do to prevent that?
I am already trimmed along with that pinch weld folded over. Just trying to make sure this will work before i go out and buy 35s..
planning on running 35x12.5x15s on 4" back spaced wheels
Thanks

does this help? I have my seem folded and had to do a small amount of trim and the bottom of the fender and tap the front part with a hammer but not really to bad. its not rubbing in the pic anywhere other than on the back fend wells and i have clearenced that now.
this is with the 33s only a small amount of adjustment with a hammer for my 35s
I would say if your not prepared to do some clearancing than stay smaller till you are.

I'm also rocking short arms but I have drop brackets also. The front flexes very well and rides decent enough for a lifted jeep. I'm rocking 35x12.50 with 4"bs and a RE lift that netted me about 7 inches. Even with the cut outs I still rubbed really bad in the front so I installed some of the daystar bumpstops and they work awesome, full lock to lock while flexed and no rubbing now.
I don't have any good flex pictures but here's one

I have Rough country's 4.5 inch short arm lift. I trimmed the front, but not the back. I need to do that and get some bump stops for the back, since I have none left. I can't really make it flex too much.

3" short arm lift with 35x14x15 back and 35x12.5x15 front. Didn't even have to bump stop the front and it was real simple in the back.

Something is majorly wrong if you didnt bumpstop the front and it doesnt rub. unless you just mean that it doesnt rub while daily driving. Hehehe. I do like the Jeep though.
