Just go a head and chop all that crap out of there man. If you take your time deciding on how to do it or what line to draw you can make it look good.

That size tire he's talking about is little less then 33" correct. If that is the case I don't see him having that many issues like hitting the firewall or the rear pushing into the doors but it will be close with just a 2" lift. The guy who ran 35" on his 2" lift had some issues of course. He had trim the rear because he pushed into his doors back there but he wasn't hitting the firewall I believe. If he's willing to trim all the crap out of the way 33" seem like they would fit. I think he might have to pull the rear heat lines out of the way like one of the other members did.
32.71 inches is the overall diameter for 285/70r17

You'll have some work to do up front I'm sure. Make sure you check those rear heat lines. One guy loosened them and pulled them in a tied them up underneath the Jeep. If you put the longer moroe road leveler shocks out back they will give you the extra height needed in the rear that might alleviate some of the issues you'll have in the rear.
This is the answer you got on the other forum LMAO no offence to the dude but it takes more then reading all threads to give advice on modding our Jeeps but the guy can search like nobody else I guess there's not to many members over there left that are modding there Jeeps.
I push the rears into the doors with the 4" lift....I am willing to bet its the lift design though. I would love to try 35's! Also remember that not all 285/70/17's are created equal. They are all close, but lug style and sidewall can effect if the tire rubs or not.
Come to think of it the AEV Iceland Commander runs 39's with the 4" Superlift but they did have to modify the rear doors to get the required clearance. Man that would be something - 39's! I am willing to bet that if I can get the newly modified rear arms I could fit 35's with little issue so in that light 285's might just work on a ~2" lift.

The guy who ran 35"s had to carve away like 2" out of body to stop from rubbing. The stock setup pushes forward even sitting level with the 2" lift. I'm surprised SL didn't address this with there lift. Not sure how to correct this but maybe adding a link bar to the rear or something maybe. I know the axle need an adjustable track bar because it pushes out as well sitting level.
