I run 37s on a daily driver and love it. Some notes:
- being tall helps getting in
- with stock gears I am perfectly happy on road and offroad. I am sure lower gears would give it more of a kick. I get about 26 mpg on average and engine never revs more than 2.5.
- I don't have bump steer or any I notice but thinking of opting for a flip kit for steering
- had driveline vibration at highway speeds while I had stock drive shafts
- I would think it is more of a worry concerning the front axle weeknesses so personally have that high as priority
- absolutely love the setup with 37s
- tires become much more expensive
- definitely don't but the spare on the tailgate

My next set of tires will be 37s. Gonna stay with the 3" springs on my teraflex LA but prob trim my flares till I can get the River Raider tube fenders in my budget.

Except once on a long trip, 22 mpg on highway, stock.
