I would say that even at $2500, it's a decent deal. If you were to piece it together I would expect that it would be over $3500. Plus you don't have to deal with any shipping, tax, etc.

I am not sure my little lift will take a 35 tire.

I think the rear bumper with tire carrier is 900 ish and front is 1100.  Tires are 400 each.

I'd do it. You know you want to.

Keep in mind those tires aren't as road friendly as your current tires.

Who makes the bumpers?  Smittybuilt?  They look like smittybuilt.  Smittybuilt is known for poor powder costing and poor welds.  Just something to keep in mind.  My girlfriends bumpers were completely stripped and repowdercoated before ever being installed.  The manufacturing process include little to no prep work before coating.  The welds on hers were OK.  I've seen better.  I think there was one spot that wasn't completely welded all the way around so it had a small hole.

285 doesn't automatically translate to a 33". 285 refers to the width.  I don't think it will look right with the 35s and that 2" lift.  4"...yes.  the other issue is with such a small lift will the larger tires rub on anything when flexing?  I know TJs with a 4" lift could fit 35s but they caused more issues because of the rubbing.

I love the flat fenders.  Best fenders there are.  I think it went beyond that though as far as what then problems were.  I might be wrong.  How much lift is on that jeep in the picture.  It doesn't look like 2" but could be deceiving because of the added ground clearance of the tires.  I'm guessing that's a 4" though.
