I am running a 2.5 TF coil and 1.25 body with flat fenders, cut pinch seam rear upper and lower control arms with the lower pushed back. Instead of going 37 I went 38x13.5x17 because they measure 36.9 mounted on rims installed on Jeep. Remember most 37's are 34.5-35.5 inches of diameter when mounted on your jeep.

Yeah If I was a tire manufacturer I'd relabel my tires. To bad there wasn't a international method of measuring and labeling tire size so it was more consistent.
