2018 Jeep JL Sahara
I’ll try and keep this short....my wife and I have an ‘18 JLU Sahara. We don’t need a monster lift but would like to have a bigger tire than stock. We currently have Rubicon springs and shocks installed. My question is, would it be a terrible way to go if we stuck with the Rubi springs, swapped to Rubi fenders, new rims with appropriate offset (to make up for the wider Rubi axle) and put on 35” tires? With what we typically do off-road with the Jeep, we don’t need a ton of lift. Some additional clearance would give us peace of mind.

Should be fine lift-wise. You may need to re-gear with 35's. Definitely will if you have a manual.

Should be able to fit 35’s no problem with rubicon fenders, but might touch suspension parts at full lock unless you have different offset wheels
