hey do u guys think a 3.5 inch lift will fit 35 inch tires with fiberglass? i see guys running 35's with a four inch lift, does .5 inches make that much of a difference
or should i just use some .5 inch spacers and get some better springs later

try it, what the hell. It might rub a little. Just cut and hammer whatever you can and give it a whirl. I know the back of mine is probably about 3.5" now with the rear springs being bent. When my first set of coils sagged they were probably about 3.5" and I did the rubicon with 35s on it without rear glass. Go for it! pictures if you do!!:hammer:
 






your gonna have to trim alot dude,:eek: , it would look cool though
 






I would say go for it, you might have to trim but oh well. It all depends on your tires and your vehicle. I got a big surprise when I went into VIP discount auto the other day and had them test fit a 33x9.5 on my Explorer with just 1.5" of lift. Seriously they rolled the tire out next to my explorer and me and my buddies started laughing, but it fit on, looked awesome, and didn't rub at all lock to lock, pretty sweet I thougtht.
 






What do you plan to use as drop brackets? Are you going to bend the beams or cut them or what? And do you plan on getting rear fiberglass as well?
