You have any pics you can post of your rig...please.

Do you have a 2012? I haven't heard anyone with 37s say they wanted anything more than 4.88 whether auto or manual. I don't have 37s but am wanting to go that route so not speaking from personal experience just a lot of research and you'd be the first to say that the pentastar needs more gearing then 4.88.

Auto trans.
Thanks for the help.
I'll be honest I'm running 4.10's and auto and haven't had a problem yet. I had 4.88's in my 07 and it wasn't enough gear but the new HP and tranny make a huge difference. Keep in mind I'm in Fl and I have a JKUR. Never changes gears or slows down for overpasses.

The wobbling / vibration you are talking about seems to be more of an issue with the wider 37's on the market. But even the 37x12.50's get it sometime.

Try rotating your tires and see if their is some improvement. A good four tire rotation would be, Back two tires straight forward to Front, Front two tires cross to Rear.

Let us know what if anything happens.......

his signature says he has a 2008, he probably didn't read what he responded to.

This was just flexing it out to see how much bump stop is needed and what else needs to be trimmed. Driver front still had more droop but I couldnt go up any further seeing as the passenger tire was resting on the inner fender support. Rear has stock control arms all around but I would like to move the axle back a little in the future.

I also threw in a pick on flat ground so you can get an idea of ride height.

Yea that's probably it. I tried to look but it didn't say on my phone for some reason. That would make sense though.
