Looks great by the way, can't wait to get my stuff all on and up in the air.

You could fit 37's on it based on its stance sitting on the street. But, if you disconnent and wheel at all, you would probably rip your fenders off. As I said, I am rubbing up front right now with my 35s when disco'ed and at full stuff. You could get longer bump stops, but then you would seriously limit your travel making the 37s perform worse than 35's...

Ok, this is what I have for you...
"PRE-LIFT" means I only had a 3/4" Daystar coil spacer up front, and no suspension mods in the rear. At the time, I had NO front or rear bumpers on it, not even the stock ones. I was also sitting on 285/75-16" BFG KMs at about 28 lbs of pressure.
"POST-LIFT" means it has the 3" TeraFlex coils, plus the 3/4" Daystar coil spacer up front. I also have a 94 lb winch and a front bumper that probably weighs about the same as that. Still no rear bumper. It is now sitting on 35x12.50-17" BFG KMs at about 26 lbs of pressure.

I am wanting to go with a teraflex 3" and 35's on my black four door "when i get it" (stupid insurance companies and lawyers")... And would really like to see it... I am debating it between the 2.5" coil lift...

Seriously, if you are going to get out and really wheel, skip the 2.5" altogether. I know a lot of guys do it, but 2.5 and 35"s are gonna rub and be a pain. I think the 3" kit is perfect for 35's. Best of luck. Here are those pics you wanted... Just cut the front fenders today, but ran out of time to do the backs.

Hey Gokracer, do you get any rubbing up front at all? Are you just running the 3" or do you have some spacers also?
Anyway, to the OP, here is a pic of my same rig, on 35's with the 2.5" TF coil lift plus a 3/4" coil spacer up front... Figured this gives you all the diff looks my rig has had! ha!

No no rubbing at all up front. The rear BARELY touched the liner a bit but you can see it, but you can't hear it. That's why I say touches. No spacers of any kind at all. I was going to throw on 1/2 thicker spring isolators on in the rear just for when I load it up w/ stuff..
