I have a 12 jkur auto with a 2.5" teraflex coil lift with front adj lower control arms and a adj front track bar, and trimmed fenders and pinch seam. I am currently running 35x1250 km2's. I want 37's. Tell me why I shouldn't throw them on and go.

You shouldn't throw them on until you atleast beef up the front axle. I would truss and gusset at a minimum. If you already have them, go for it!!

Do you still have a body lift? And is it needed to dit the 37's. I'm not a big fan of body lifts so if I need another inch of lift to run the 37's I wil probably get new springs.

I do still have the body lift. U can fit 37's without a lift and have flat fenders but without the body lift u would have to run taller bumpstops front and rear,
or run. 1.5-2" extra bump stop in the front and 2.5" in the rear plus some extra trimming off the rear pinch seam
