So, I'm looking at getting the Savyy 3" kit for my TJ. I'm going to run 33's for the time being. (Would get the 4" but the TJ will be extremely light with no winch and stock bumpers, so I would end up with around 5" according to some people on jeepforum. I would think 3" would be perfect then.) Lets say in the future I want to run some 35's. Obviously I would need axles and gears etc... but, would I be able to throw on some highline fenders and still have adequate clearance/flex? I really don't want a body lift. I know most people will say get that but I have a personal dislike for body lifts even if they're the best option.
Quick summary:
TJ + Savvy 3" + Highline fenders + 35's = good or no?
Don't fear the 1" bodylift, if you're wanting to keep it low it's great to have for doing a tummy tuck and raising the gas tank with the savvy skid to get all the clearance you can get.
It is mostly because the shifters being sunk down into the body would drive me insane if I'm being honest. Just cosmetic interior stuff that would drive me insane.
I think you should be fine if you highline your fenders.
Mine has a 3" Savvy, without a highline, but with a 1.25" BL, and 35's.
I did the small BL for the transfer case and gas tank skid tucks.
I am running 35's with a 3 inch BDS with a 3/4 spacer in the front. I have a 1 inch body for tummy tuck and getting the Savvy tucked gas tank skid in the near future. I have Poison Spyder 3 inch tapered defenders.
It works well, but an extra 1" would be nice...
Oh, and with a 1 inch BL you won't notice anything with the shifter.... Don't fear the BL its benefits outweigh any "cons".
I can agree with the shifter issue. I was under the impression that a 1" body lift and a tummy tuck would cancel each other out with regards to the shifter position?

I'm not sure if they would cancel each other out. I wouldn't care about the shifter being farther down relative to me. Just the actual sight of it being sunk into the body would drive me insane. I would like the interior to be as clean and as "elegant" as possible. I might be totally wrong but there would be a gap between the shifter boot and the body. Like the boot would go down an inch relative to the body. Is that wrong?
Although mine is an auto, when I installed my 1.25" BL, there was no noticeable difference in the shifter positioning inside the cab.
Later, when I installed the tummy tuck, there was still no noticeable difference.
There was definitely a noticeable difference in off road performance after losing the low hanging stock earth brake skid, which the BL provided the space to do so.
