Minimum lift necessary for 35" tires w/ full articulation

[ormandj]

Hi,

What's the minimum lift you can get away with, using 35" tires, and not rub off-road? Price isn't a major concern, more not having excessive lift like the Mopar 2" (really 3" lift from what everyone is saying) with 35" tires. It seems most manufacturers of lifts are targeting 37" tires. The ST1 from Teraflex seems like it might be an option (1.5" lift), but it's just a spacer lift with bump stops. I'm trying to avoid 37" as I don't want the decrease in DD performance and all of the other associated costs that come with the larger tires.

Thanks!

Is it a rubicon or sport? In order to run 35's depending on trim level, you could just add a 1 inch bumpstop and do some trimming with no lift.

Rubicon. Not really interested in trimming. Thanks!

Keep in mind that your wheel offset may also determine where and if the tires run.

Sticking with stock wheels for now. Good call-out, I appreciate it!
