I was mainly worried about messing up my fenders and or breaking items due to the extra weight and size of the 37s.

Would I be okay still running factory fenders and the aev bumper and factory rock rails? I don't want to have to do any trimming or have to be careful not to tear something up

Go with the Bilstein 5160 a little extra but way worth it;

Ok you guys are the devil. Now I am wanting to do the EVO front and rear with 37s and flat fenders while still using the lift and shocks I have plus I can get the warn powerplant which is what I really wanted. I feel like an old lady. I found a shop about 70 miles from me that can do all the EVO stuff and install my lift kit. The tire guy said he could send my 35s back and get me 37s. The dealership said they havent ordered any of the AEV items yet or the winch. So what do I do????? So indecisive. I should just punch myself in the face.

I'm getting a really good deal on the installation. My problem is I don't have the time to do the install or I would.

Do the 37" the other stuff is preference. With the 37 yiu will need flats or trimmed flares, trim pinch seam and rubi rails, slightly longer bump stops if you want. I would hate to see somebody else regret their 35.
