Just wondering if 35" tyres will fit under a 4" lift with out a body lift?
Or what you need to run 35s.
Any help will be appreciated thank you

i suggest you find someone with 35's borrow them for a test fit.
check bump stop clearances and guard hitting (if applicable) all in one go.
a guard chop keeps the COG down rather than making you tippy and unstable like those ridiculously un-necessary patrol 7inch lifts.

A few issues back Jp Magazine fitted & wheeled a TJ on 35's - but no lift....just loads of cutting....I liked it a LOT

They'll fit fine for onroad, but you wont have much room to flex offroad.
Spend the extra $250 ~ on a 1'' BL if you wanna be sure.

No you don't need a motor mount if you move the fan shrowd -
ANother thing to consider is that on stock gears it's going to be a dog to drive on 35's.

Yeah....at a cost of $8000 JUST for the front to be chopped. Lucky he did the rear by himself with Shane.

4.56 is good on 35's - i wouldn't want 4.88 unless i was going bigger in future (which i don't)

Yikes...I had no idea Matt's cost that much!
Saying that though the low COG is to die for i guess.

4.88s = more teeth and smaller teeth, weaker perhaps ?
My car is getting the chop sometime in the next 12 months. I would like someones car to practice on.

i don't think that is right.....remember the pinion shaft can gain a tooth too so to speak to make that ratio the same without effection the crown wheel.
i have 4.56 and i barely use 1st any more on the road (33)
i don't need no stinking quote for my sig. line!
