35 Tires on a 4" lift...

B52BUFF:
is it possible to run 35" tires on a 4" lift?  I just got my tires and they were supposed to be 33" for a SkyJacker 4" lift and they shipped 35"s. What would I need to do in addition to the 4" lift to be able to run 35's?

Mine has 38's on 4" of lift  ::)

35's will fit.  You just might need to add some bump stop.  What gears are you running these days?  The D35 might not like the 35's built or not so that is to be considered as well.

On a 4" lift TJ I'd just go 33's to be honest.  33's and a locker on a TJ will get you in more trouble off road then you probably wanna be in for a daily driver anyways.  Your MPG's will be better on 33's too.

B52BUFF:
3.73 R&P. I did talk to 4WD.com and they saw their mistake and have reimbursed me so that I paid the 33 price for the 35 and have agreed to give me a good discount on tube fenders should I decide I need them.  Both Rock and 4WD recommended Bump Stops and I may do that also.  I will be ready for Florida Vacation.

35s are easy to put on a TJ on 4" of lift. Do you have a BL at all? My old TJ had a 3.5" RE lift and 1.25BL and could have easily fit 35s and that was my plan once the 33s were worn out. Sounds like you got a great deal getting 35s for the price of 33s. The only downside will be the gearing with only having 3.73s. I can't remember what you've done to your D35. Is it beefed up to a Super 35 now? If not, you're going to be dancing a thin line on when it will break with 35s.

B52BUFF:
G2 Chromoly shafts and a Detroit auto locker. I had geared it towards 33"s but now I have to use what I have got. I don't want to have to go in and re-gear it again.
