35's won't physicly fit in the wheel wells without minor trimming... if you don't want to trim you obviously to worried about cosmetics to need a SOA suspension or 35's

Come on man, you have to at least search a litle bit. I'll throw you a bone, cut the eyes off another set of stock YJ main leafs and insert them under your main leafs, TJ flares, and you are good.

Why not just trim em up. We run 38's on a yj w' spring over and a 1 inch body lift and the tires clear fine. They look better chopped IMO.

To answer your question yes 35's will fit on a soa with stock springs and no trimming.

I had to trim mine a little. Even with 1.5 inch RE SOA springs. Guess everyone's set up is a little different.

I guess this is true... but your fenders will get munched without trimming unless you run some serioulsy tall bumpstops

I run 33s with a 3.5" SUA and do not rub even w/o bump stops on the axles. I could fit 35s by fender trimming so 35s should clear easy with SOA. Hell, trim fenders and go with 37s. :shaking:

It really just depends on your springs. Put on the 35's, and if they don't fit get some 2.5" springs.

I have a 1986 CJ7 that I did a SOA on and it has 25" from the bottom of the
frame to the ground. I run 36x13.50x16 IROKS and don't get into the fenders.
YJ's have more fender clearance than a CJ. I doubt you'll have a problem with 35's.
BTW, my 36" IROKS actually measure 36.75" tall. Most 35's measure around 34".

you don't have to take your fenders off to clear 35's you just need to trim a little out of the rear of the rear fender openings... not sure how much is necassay but to actually be able to get 33's to tuck into the fenders without rubbing the trimming is still covered by the stock flares

i had stock springs with a soa and fit 35 fine and had room for flex to. i would recamened putting some different springs in the front. rears have one more leaf and may hold up better. my stock fronts had a negative arch just sitting on flat ground.
