Not really with ease lol but they should fit... I would looking into what gearing you have in the 08, my 06 has 3.73s and I read that's just enough to turn the 35s properly and anything below you should think of a regear but I wouldn't doubt you'd be fine without one and just getting a programmer. To answer your actual question, with the readylift 3/2 and proper wheel backspacing you should've have to big of a trimming problem with 35 inch tires... Maybe slight front valence trim and inner fender and you'll be good

I did some research and they dont even make a 15inch wheel for my lug pattern so its a 17inch wheel is what its gonna be. but back spacing is gonna be interesting

Shoot I didn't even notice you have out /15" wheels lol... Yeah the brakes are way too big to go anything less than 17... I'm pretty sure I have several millimeters maybe centimeters before they are touching the inner rim on my 17s lol ....but anyways if all hopes as planned I'll post some pics of my 2006 on 35s on this thread tomorrow for you so you can see how it needs to be trimmed

Well like I said, I'd post mine... I'm going to need to trim to trim the front valence and even the bumper a bit to get them to turn at full lock and if j really wanted to be generous I could trim the inner fender a bit too

Really good looking ride, Gruz7!

Here is a picture of my Expedition. It is on the Ebay 3.5/2.5 lift on 35x12.5x17's. 17x8.5 wheels. I had to remove the running boards and trim the lower corner of the front valance. I don't seem to be getting any inner fender rubbing on either side. There is also plenty of room between the tire and the upper control arms at full lock. And YES! I was skeptical, but it does, in fact, still fit in my garage!
