They will fit under a three inch with some minor modifications. I have seen 37's with no glass wheeled hard on a six inch without hitting so you should be o.k. with three.

With 35s you have to watch the bumper, not the fender. Your air dam will have to go. I suggest a sahara bar instead of the stock bumper. I havent touched a fender with a 4 inch lift on my rig, but under compression, and with no air dam, I still rub sometimes.
