RE: how much lift clears 35's
Um, the 'answer' is simple... how much trimming are you willing to do? You may not need a lift at all. I have a 35s on 8" wide steel streetlock wheels, a 3" SJ Stage II system but, I trimmed front plastic and beat down a seam at the back of the wheel well.
The manufacturers say 5" to clear 35s is assuming you do NO trimming or fender alteration.

I have a 3" Lift and 33"s and the 33"s rub if you hit a bump while at full lock. Or sometimes when just at full lock. Now this is due to having them on 10" wide wheels. If I went with 8" wide wheels with the correct backspacing I should be able to easily clear 33"s but I'm not sure 35"s would work without rubbing even then. I'd go with a 5" lift to be safe for 35"s. I think you can stuff them with a 3" but you are likely to have to do some trimming or have some serious rubbing.

If you're gonna run fat *** wheels and tires you're gonna need fat *** backspacing. If you're rubbing on the control arms your tires are too wide and you need more backspacing. If your tires are tearing out your fenders and wheel wells then they are too tall and need more lift.
