Do you gentlemen recommend switching to 4.56 gears to run 35x12.5x16? Or will the stock 4.11’s do the job?

A lot of people run 35s with the only issue of rubbing I thinkDo you gentlemen recommend switching to 4.56 gears to run 35x12.5x16? Or will the stock 4.11’s do the job?
Only when turning sharply though correct?A lot of people run 35s with the only issue of rubbing I think
Also when off roading in the rear fenders, some people have to cut their rear fenders, some don’t. This is just stuff I researched, I haven’t actually driven on 35s. I’m going to put 4 inches with 33s. Look at project pikachu. He runs a HFS 4 inch lift with 33 inch BFG AT tires. Looks fantasticOnly when turning sharply though correct?
Yes stock wheel wells. But not doing much off road drives. And yes stock 2f engineAre you still on factory rear wheel wells and engine?
35's will not clear the rear wheel wells if they are not trimmed, and a stock engine will need to be regeared.

Stay with 33"s. You will be perfectly happy with them.Yes stock wheel wells. But not doing much off road drives. And yes stock 2f engine
Basically: 33s are easier but 35s aren’t too horrible to install either, just needs a little workYes stock wheel wells. But not doing much off road drives. And yes stock 2f engine
I tried searching 33x12.5 as well as 35x12.5. And the 35’s just look so much beefier lolStay with 33"s. You will be perfectly happy with them.

So there’s no way 35’s will work without modifying the wheel wheel?Basically: 33s are easier but 35s aren’t too horrible to install either, just needs a little work
So even with a 4” lift, 35’s won’t clear without modification?Are you still on factory rear wheel wells and engine?

Not comfortably. Constant rubbing. It’s a lot easier and cheaper to get 33sSo there’s no way 35’s will work without modifying the wheel wheel?
I ran a stock 2F with 4.11 on 35s for years with no problems. Was fine off road and moved along straight and even at 67mph on the freeway.Are you still on factory rear wheel wells and engine?

Did you have to trim your wheel well to fit 35’s?I ran a stock 2F with 4.11 on 35s for years with no problems. Was fine off road and moved along straight and even at 67mph on the freeway.

Living in Wyoming is not much better for a 2F. Head winds on I-80 it struggled to do the speed limit until a truck passed. At sea leave it was not much better.I'm sure it would work better closer to sea level than where I'm at. the 2F becomes anemic at my elevation. I completely agree that YRMV.
