I would do a 3.5 lift with flat fenders. I think it's a perfect combination.

To fit 37's you will most likely require 3.5-4" of lift. At that height you will need to change your front drive shaft as well. Track bar relocations with adjustable track bars. I would suggest a lift kit with adjustable control arms to correct your caster and avoid vibrations. Do a search on lift kits, there is a lot of info and many to choose from... EVO, Currie, RK, MC, Teraflex just to name a few. Regarding gearing for the 3.6, I think most would recommend 4.88:1 however I choose 4.56:1 and am quite happy with the results. This is assuming you have an auto transmission. All depends on what geographic region you live in, many considerations...It's not a clear black and white answer. Good luck and use that search feature it yields great info.

Im on a rc 4 inch lift. Swapping out the nitros for the 5160s this week and 511s. Love the height and very little sag just not loving the ride so hoping the billsteins will smooth things out. Hope this helps.

Thank you all for the info I don't know much about gears so really the question was more so someone can tell me what's the difference between let's say the 488 and the 513 gears will it keep the same power as now or drop with 37 and about the lift I did a bit of looking around actually a lot of looking around and so far the AEV I like but like a lot of ppl say can't believe what the company's are saying cause they all want to sell what tey have to offer was looking more of what you guys already own with real life driving to make up my mind thank you

I was wondering do you lifts have a smooth ride cause the 2013 rides very nice compare to my 2008 even though it was a two door and I did no mods on that one it drove very rough compare to my 2013 four door
