I’m trying to find an answer. I have max tow ordered, and I will tow my camper. I want to also do some off-roading, but nothing crazy. The 245 75 AT stock tires might be too narrow, especially for beach. Has anyone identified a good lift to accommodate 35s while maintaining rake and stiff rear springs?

Rubicon take offs. Replace shocks and front springs. Keep your rear springs. Add a spacer lift. I was going to do it but it will void my extended warranty.

Yep depending on just how big you want to go (and how much fender clearance/articulation ability you are seeking), you could easily fit 35s with say the 1.5" Teraflex spacer up front and the Daystar 3/4" spacer in the rear. I think one of the keys is to retain the max tow springs if only going with a mild/budget friendly lift. If you want a full blown lift you would want to maybe look at AEV or Clayton that specifically focus on springs for vehicels carrying a load.

edit to add...you can easily install 33s (rubi take offs are available often for good prices) without adding any lift or spacers. Thats what I did. I am planning to add the teraflex spacer up front and the daystar spacer in the rear in the coming days, but it is most for looks.

The more I think about it, the more I believe Rubicon 33s will be just fine.
