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.

4" suspension and 1" bodylift, 35" will fit no problems

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.

Booked out untill next year
I know a Jeep Specialists shop in Sydney can do it next week
& if you want 2 run 35s i would fit 4.88 not 4.56. im on 33s with 4.56 & i wish i was running 4.88s (something 2 think about)

The guard chop cost me 3 jigsaw blades, a pillow case(for panel beating) and sum kill rust paint and some bolts and nuts, total around $20

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)
