35's on a 4.5" lift?

[The Blu Yak]

35's will give u 2 more inchs of tire clearence, minus two inches of flex. 33"s a full locker in the rear and a lunchbox in the front will get u everywhere an open carrier with 35"s will.

**if you want specific questions and dont want to ask them here drop me a PM or on AIM thebluyak***

Wrong. 1" more clearance.

You may also want a gas tank skid and t-case skid before hitting the Rubicon, and good tow points on both ends before any real wheeling. I've always been open front, locked rear on the Rubicon. I've done fine on it, body damage aside.

shit your right, yeah one more inch..sorry its been a long day..waiting to come home for thanksgiving break

there ya go. 35's with 5" of lift. Close enough. This jeep was totalled in the last year I think.

where do you guys trim on the back fenders how far do you go without cutting through. ive heard about people cutting a little then folding the rest but how much can you take off? same with the front how much?

You have to cut even further for bushwackers and such.

 

[rangerjoe2001]

yeah i just used the supplied bumpstops,

i have 3.75 backspacing

 

[kubtastic]

If I were to do it again, I'd go the John-John route - no trimming, no bumpstops... well actually I'd bumpstop it.

so i guess i dont really need 35 but i want to be able to get through the rubicon so will this get me through? 4.5" lift, 1.5" spacers and shackles, 33's, front h.d. bumper, sliders, 4.56 gears and a lockrite in front and a stock limited slip in back, k&n filter. will that get me through or not?

These guys saying "stick with 33's" are right, you're guarenteed to be alot more reliable, especially if you don't get too friendly with the skinny pedal.

You're set up fine for the Rubicon - there's lots of hype about that trail, but 95% of it is really not that tough and the hard spots usually have a bypass. Plenty of guys still run it on 31" tires with good spotting or an experienced driver. Here's pics of mine on the Con when it was 5" lift on 33's. Everywhere in these pics has a bypass.

2 pics crawling the box, b4 it became buggy territory and a pic of me and my buddy Don, just past Buck Island Lake
