Re: 35's with 2 1/2" lift.

Billhilly,

This is Tough Country's 2" EZ Ride lift with 315/75R16's. I could make the tire contact the front fender cup with the wheels turned when fully articulated but just barely and I really had to try. I chopped the cups for the bumper design not because of clearance issues.

Hope this helps sir.

That helps heaps! Didn't realise that was the setup you had, but it's right there in your signature. Do you know the width/offset of your rims?
I'm running 255/85/16's right now on 6 3/4" wagon wheels with a 3 1/2" backspace and the edge of the tread is already outside the front guard. I was looking at going to a 285/75/16 on a 8" rim with 4" backspace and that looks like it would push the tread edge out another 3/4". I have six monthly saftey checks down here and can't run much tire outside the guard without getting the big fail. 315's appear to be about another inch wider overall which might really start to stress the bean counters out!
