I run 35's w/o need for a body lift. Unneeded IMHO...
They can add quite a bit of value freeing up space for 35's when you look at the back of the wheel well.
Mtbcoachs comments are valid tho. I think what you'll tend to find is that a tire that is listed as a 35" tire by the mfg is normally significantly undersized. For example 35" bfg km2s actually run closer to 33.6"-34.2"..hence they don't normally cause issues in the wheel well cause they really aren't a 35" tire. Depending on what suspension setup you are running a 35" tire can cause quite a bit of interference in the back of the wheel well...especially at lock.
Body lift free's up a bit of space there. Currently I've got a ton of interference in the back of the wheel well with 35" pitbulls. I'm getting more travel than most with my suspension so that might be why, but we'll be cutting out the fenders to solve the problem. The body lift was one of the alternatives I was considering.
This photos with 37" tires on, but you can see how much of an issue the wheel well is. Still a problem with most true 35" tries from what I've seen towards bump and lock
Thought I had photos with the 35s showing the same issue, but I guess I never took any.

Part of the key to running 35's is adjusting your alignment caster a little more forward than factory specs call for.
