Sure, Bob.. if you want to lower the bump stops and have zero uptravel. ;)

I took a tape measure to my wheel well before I bought my 33s.. and the 
stock Scout II rear wheel well (not the lip, the well) is not wide enough 
to accomodate a 33" tire stuffed up inside.. let alone a 35!

I'm probably not going to get my body lift done this winter.. so instead, 
I"m going to pick up some 3"x3" box tubing soon and notch it 
appropriately to make a lowered bump stop bracket to keep my 33s out of 
the rear wheel wells.. hafta rely on the Tracklok to keep the tires going 
in back, and the Lockright up front.. becuase articulation *will* suffer..
