just remember the higher the lift it gets harder to get in

On my GQ LWB I'm running 35's with a 2 1/2" lift (2" coils and 1" spacers) I have removed my mud flaps and I had to trim my rear flares a bit. If you used rubber flares you would be fine. If you go from alloy to steel wheels, like I did, you'll need a 1/2 spacer as the thread on the studs doesn't go all the way and the steel wheels aren't thick enough. I haven't scrubbed once, no issues on the front but if the rear was fully compressed it would foul.

I used a constant load coil in the rear as I have a 100L gas tank and a steel rear bar and will have a set of drawers etc so don't want the rear to sag. I also used foam cell shocks and i'm happy with the ride quality.
