Another data point for anyone interested in clearance on stock suspension. I have stock suspension and wheels. I added Nitto Trail Grapplers in 35x11.5x17. I haven’t been doing any serious rock crawling, but several difficult trails across Arkansas, Colorado and Utah. I’m definitely rubbing the front fender liners a bit when off-road. To the point where one pulled away and the tire ate it up. I had to cut it out and now waiting on a replacement.

I’m definitely now considering a small lift and wheels with different backspacing. Then go to 37s like god intended.
Ben, did you add wheel spacers when you put your 35’s on your stock wheels? I’m wondering if that would prevent the rubbing on your fender liners.

I didn't add wheel spacers. And if I had to guess, that would do the trick. Now I'm just trying to decide if I should upgrade everything (lift and wheels), add wheel spacers, or try to modify the fender liners to work. I honestly like the stock stance on 35s. But I do plan to continue abusing it on trails. We'll see...
