Those fenders are trimmed more then just a little.. Also that's more then 4" of lift..Mine is at 4.5" and no way I could get 35's without trimming a whole lot.

I agree i also have 4" of lift and 31's,and there is 4 and a 1/4 of an inch in between the tire and the stock fender flair in the rear.there looks to be 7" in between yours,which would put you right around a 7" of lift.hope you did not buy a lift for nothing.and you should probably get gears or the tranny could go down hill quick.also if your going to be wheeling,you better upgrade the axles.

Ill measure how high it is to the bottom of my front and back bumper today and how much gap I have in the fender wells... Ya it slowed it down abit I was fast with those 32's on there I beat a 5-speed Scion TC and a 5-speed honda civic

dude the only thing i would do to that is a long arm upgrade from rustys or re a rear Dana 44 winch and regear and be done with it, it has like 6 to 7 inches of lift all ready go a head buy a 5.5 inch lift and lower your jeep

Just to give some perspective..My jeeep sites at about 4.5" and from ground to front stock bumper on 30" tires it is 24" and that's at the bottom line before the bottom folds down. So for 35" tires I would about 2.5" to that since for ever inch of tire you cane .5" roughly in height. So on 35's I would sit at 26.5" roughly so You have to be sitting closer to 6".. I figure your bumper bottom doesn't come down as far as stock so I figure about an inch shorter.
