How much lift will I need for 22x12s and 35X13.50R22 tires?

Know this will probably get some slack. But everyone has their own taste so no bashing appreciated.

2014 Sahara. Wanting to run 22x12's and 3XR13.50R22 tires.

How much lift will I need to not rub front or rear, bumpers or fenderwells ???

2.5" if you do not off road, and you need to look at the rim back spacing not only the lift.

Rim backspacing is 4.5"+

There is a chart, I don't want to guess your driving style.

That's gear ratios....I'm looking for how much clearance I need. I know I'll likely go with 4.56 or 4.88 gears when I switch those up soon also.

With 35s, I'd say 3.5 lift. 2.5 if you go with flat fenders or tube fenders.

It's a Sahara but I'm not changing fenders beyond how flat those are.

Yeah I have a Sahara too. I want to eventually change them to poison spider aluminum flares. Painted to patch the jeep like they are now.

For 35s you ideally want 3.5-4.5" of lift.

Can you do it with less? Yes.

However, do you want to maintain your factory up-travel numbers? If so, then you'll want about 4" of lift.

Up-travel is just as important on-road as it is off-road. I suggest anyone who is doing a lift maintain at least the factory up-travel specs.

Awesome. Sounds good. Thanks

I have seen 2.5" lift with it by the mall.
Looks nice and shinny clean.
