    anyone running a DC with the fox 2.5 IFP coilover (0-2") set at 2" with a 35" tire on factory wheels? Does it fit? I assume I'll have to remove some mud flaps and do some shaping but I'd like to avoid the body mount chop....has anyone done this?

    I don't think you'll get away with not doing a BMC. I did 35x12.5x20's with a 3/1.5 lift and I still needed the chop and also had to trim the front of the liner. You can try it but will probably get some rubbing. Mine is not rubbing at all with my setup. Disregard the picture below as I still need to take some photos and update my sig. I have to reinstall my flares before taking more photos.

    You did that with stock wheels?

    These tires would be nearly an inch narrower and a quarter inch shorter (34.8x11.6) and I'll be using stock wheels.

    You also have an extra 1" of tire width than he does.

    @Brocksw I'd think you'd stand a decent chance of not needed a CMC/BMC. Your alignment figures would play a role as well. I'm running 295/70R18's on a 3/1.5 and didn't need one, and the size you're getting is narrower than what I have. If you do need it though, its not a big deal. Just find an offroad shop near you and have 'em get 'er done.

    Yes, if you run tires that are 285mm wide and no more they will fit. I have King 2.5s set to approximately 2" of lift and stock height leaf springs in the rear. I've cycled the suspension like this with my LT285/75R18 Yokohama A/Ts and have no clearance issues. I have no spacers of any kind and have performed no cutting.

    Yep! You are correct on mine being a bit wider. Thanks.
