It is not the lift you have to worry about but the clearance in the guards.

I know my 35s will just start touching the rear guards at full compression of the rear springs. Front is fine and I run a 6inch spring lift with no body lift.

Anything over 35s I would guess would need one of three things:
1. Lower rear bump stops so tyres do not come as far up into the guards
2. Body lift
3. Pull out the angle grinder and start cutting

REAR TYRE WILL ALWAYS RUB ON THE INSIDE OF THE ARCHES ON FULL FLEX EVEN WITH 3" LIFT & 33s

3in lift & Bump stop spacers

Not having tried this I would guess lift the body 25mm (1 inch) and that should give you the clearance, but 50mm may give you a little more room.

How high you lift you springs is then just a personal choice.

I used to have an OME 2 inch spring lift with 1 inch spacers and 35 inch Pedes. Used to rub on full compression but not anything that would damage it. Had that set up for 2 years.
Now with a 5 inch lift, 35's are no where near rubbin.
Guess every cruiser is slightly different.

With 35's on 15x10 wheels and a 4inch spring lift the tyres would rub the rear. I then put on a 2inch body lift, total of 6inches and have not had a problem. Probably could run 37's now, but that would be the most without even more lift.

I am running 40's on my 80 with a 4in lift. It does touch the inner guard, but nothing to worry you. I have also bumpstopped it and trimmed a bit of the wheel arch away, but they do fit.

Now were talking....its all in the rims cobber, std gxl are 0 offse,. a set of roh sunnies is 27p or an inch further out...makes a great difference with the rubbing up back. Id go the 3-4 inch no more and 2 inch body, put 40mm packing under bumpstops down the back, and pin eye adapter up top of gq aftermarket rear shocks (eye/ete) or similar, and you have more articulation aswell as no rubbing. The front tyres will rip the mudflap off if you leave em there aswell....but only in the bush

a mate ran 36" pedes on 2" spring 2" body on gxl rims and they DID NOt RUB at all.

Yes, i think its all about the body lift. Iv managed to get my 33's to just scrub in the rear with a 4" suspension lift on my 80series... mind you i don't have any sway bars attached

Now that iv got new 4.56 diff ratio's, i will be purchasing 35 or 36" peeds. Ill see how i go but money says ill be getting a 2" body lift very soon after!

2" body and 3" coils - I ran 37's with minimal scrubbing!
Running 35 pede's now and no issues!

I think if you do spring lift only, you'll get some rubbing but if you do spring lift and body lift, it'll be fine.
