    Pretty easy to achieve more lift...I'm at like 7-7.5" of lift. Either way plan to do a lot of cutting for 37s. You can use those that have achieved 35's on a 3" lift for ideas of what will possibly needs clearancing to avoid a body lift.

    Coil overs up front, custom leaf packs in the rear, Tubular UCA's (Total Chaos with Heim adjustability, or Icon billets for the heim adjustability) if you can't get alignment in spec. The CV axles will be about the same as a 3" lift because the drop bracket lifts 6" but maintains your factory geometry. Be mindful of your backspacing.

    Light racing uca's work great for the lift he's wanting. That's what mine was.

    If I get ome coils, is there any reason to get 5100's if you are leaving them set at zero? Or will my stock shocks not work with the new coils?

    You might be able to put on fiberglass fenders and run 37s

    I'm pretty sure that 886's will not fit in the stock shocks. More than likely they would damage them even.

    Hey it's been a while but wanted to give everyone a final thank you for all the help, your advice was extremely helpful in understanding what I needed. I ended up getting billies set at 1.75", stock coils, and put on a 4crawler 1.5" body lift(highly recommend btw if you're considering one, cheap and easy to install)..just enough added height without much frame at the bottom..can't really tell it has a body lift. I'm getting 37x12.50's put on today so I'll see what kind of trimming will be needed, but it was almost too much lift for 35's, had 13" of space between top of tire to bottom of fender flare.

    Thanks again everyone.

    Nice! I want some pics of the 37's on there! :D

    I got a 4crawler 1" body lift that I like a lot for what I do.

    Alright everyone, finally got my 37's on! And just as important I ditched the 20's in favor of some 17" Mickey Thompson wheels to go along with my 37" Mickey MTZ's, and couldn't be happier. Have no rubbing or fitment issues..only thing is the extra strain you can feel while accelerating, but have my new 3rd member from East Coast Gear Supply coming Friday and will regear the back myself to 4.88 this weekend, and will do the front next month..had to give the pocketbook a rest after all this at the moment. Also meeting up with another local TW member to sell my 2" nfab steps to upgrade to the larger 3" diameter nfab's, and then this summer will be getting Road Armor front and rear bumbers.. but for now, enjoy the pics!
