Why did you go with a body lift? If you did a 4 inch suspension lift you would have plenty of ground clearance and you can fit those 37s. Now you may be able to fit 37s but your frame is almost at stock level. Lots of scraping.

Why body Lift
I have a 2.5 Budget boost from teraflex and i did a body lift because the dealers near my location do not tolerate more than that 2.5 so i can keep my powertrain warranty.This is why i opted for the bodylift that permits me to clear my 37" tires .The full suspension will be done as soon as the warranty is over.

Ummm not really. The 2.5 inch suspension lift gave him 2.5 inches underneith the belly of the JK. By adding 37 inch tires he will gain additional clearance under the axles and obviously the rest of the vehicle. Im assuming he had something close to a 32 stock. If so and he added 37's then thats a 5 inch taller tire, half of that height provides additional ground clearance. So thats an extra 2.5 inches. So in theory if he were to park next to another stock JK he should have approx. 5 inches more clearance under the belly of the JK. To me 5 inches isnt almost stock level. Just my .02

Tires 36.8 - 31.7 = 5.1 / 2 = 2.55"
BB suspension lift 2.50"
Total lift of frame 5.05 "
2" BL is just fugly. I would have run coil spacers instead
