Rough country 3.5 with 22x12 and 35s?

[zmnypit]

I don't have all of the lift yet as supposedly the a arms are on backorder. Currently running leveling keys and shocks only. I'm getting impatient and looking at going ahead and put the wheels and tires on until the a arms arrive. I've already spaced the bumper and trimmed the valanace now I'm debating on trimming the bumper. Anyone running this setup know if the 35s fit with the full lift installed? The tires just barely touch the bottom corner of the bumper but I don't want to cut it if it's not needed next month.

You’ll hit on the rear of the fender as well. I have 35x12.5x20 tires in a +0 offsetted 20x9 wheel. They rub in the rear of the fender too.

The rear I'm not worried about as I'll cut and beat whatever since the carpet covers it. Just not sure if I'm willing to cut the bumper yet

Bumper doesn’t have to be cut, just put spacers on the mounting bolts. You can go about 3/4” before you even notice that the bumper has moved.

Already done that and it's still hitting the bottom corner. Like I said I don't have the UCAs yet so not sure if they make that much of a difference. Wheels are 22x12 -40 American force trax with Toyo 35x12.50x22 MT

New truck owner, finally, how do you bump the front bumper foward?  Any pics or write ups?

 

Thanks in advance....Im getting a 3.5 inch Zone lift in a couple of weeks and got 20x9 fuel kranks planning on 35 nitto ridge, I don't really offroad much.

I have the same level/lift. The UCA just make the bump stop issue end.

Well after alot of cussing, cutting, and bending 22x12s and 35s are on. Got one small rub on the passenger side rear that I'll zip tie back once the UCAs come in. I did end up trimming the bumper about 1" in and 5" up so it's barely noticeable

The rough country 3.5". The bumper spacer I used a nut and washer like the last page of the link above.

zmnypit,  Very nice, I love that look. I have same truck with RC 3.5” lift. I don’t think the arms change much but the ride. Bought the truck the keys were cranked with shock extensions. Terrible ride. RC kit made a huge difference in ride, by adding arms and shocks.
 

I would like to ask, how far do the wheels extend out past the fenders with the -40 offset? Did you notice a major change in your fuel mileage after installing 35’s?
