Put them on and keep cutting until they dont scrub.

To fit 35s with a 3inch lift would need heaps of chopping. For starters you would have to toss the mud flaps away,fit radius arm spacers, get some 25mm off set rims, cut the rear quarters off, remove the flares and put the bunnings garden edging on instead, put adjustable control arms on so you can move the diff back more, you will still probably have to cut a couple of inches of the rear of the front guards also. After all that it will probably still scrub at full travel.

If it still scrubs badly you could always put a one or two inch bodylift in later anyway. Hope this helps. If you want to see pictures of what I did to my quarters and the flares (to run 37s though) i'm refering to check out my web pictures www.warrenl.gallery.netspace.net.au in the mods section.
Mine is running an 8 inch lift but with the chopping i've done and the flares should (hopping ) fit 40inch tyres now.

Cheers Mick.

We just had the guards trimmed back to the fold line on the flare and the back of the front and rear guards opened up. Only rubs on the rear inner guard.
