2" lift 31" tires (actually 30.3").. rest is stock.. I did some minor trimming but didnt know how crucial that metal is in the lower rear part of the front wheel well.
I plan on adding a 1" puck up front to level it out, that should give me more room and might not have to touch the metal.

For 3in. could I run 32x11.5 on stock rims if I put a 1in spacer up front without rubbing at full lock? What about rear will I rub at all with 32s with no spacers? ( not including while flexed)

Ok so why do people say i'm gonna break my shafts with 35's when a Km2 33x12.5 is the same weight as a 35x12.5... Even when I have a d35 in the aren't I running the same risk because of weight? So why is a 33 safer than a 35?

Has to do with the physics of it. Larger radius tire will put more stress on the shaft.

Weight and physical dimensions both affect strength and movement.

You'll rub on your bumper end caps and back your flairs while turnin. Minor trim will fix it

12.5" tires on stock wheels will rub your unibody in the rear. They'll also rub the control arms.

I beat the **** outta mine with my 35x12.5 MTR's on a D35 and have had 0 issues with it. I plan on getting upgraded axle shaft from rocky-road so I can run a locker in mine tho. Im not sure why everyone talks bad about the D35 axle as mine has taken one hell of a beating over the last few months in the mud and rock and has held together nicely even on stock gears.
