Tone seems to get lost in text, so sorry if you thought I was ranting. In my very first post I stated that with flats, 2" coils, proper bumpstops, and reasonable trimming of the sheet metal one could easily and successfully run 37's on 2" of lift for all applications, DD and trail use. Right from the start.
Next you pointed out vengeance, which someone followed with stating it was stretched. I felt it was necessary to point out that that is not a fair comparison, especially since vengeance has significant body alterations such as high line front fenders and a comp cut rear.
Adding a stretch to the equation for the OP does not make the answer any simpler. A stretch is extremely useful in terms of rear departure angle and vertical climb capability, but requires significant body alteration.
To the OP, I you want to run 37's with 2" of lift, you can with a quality 2" coil spring, likely stock control arms all around (maybe adjustable front lowers for caster correction), flats, proper bumpstop extensions, appropriate length shocks, and some sheet metal love with a cutoff wheel and grinder.
Shit, maybe I am ranting now...
