Search my posts for pics & info. I'm running 37s on a 2.5" TF BB, 1" BL, & flat flares with stock front bumpstops. I had to roll or trim the rear pinch seam & cut 2" off my stock Rubi rocker guards.
The only rubbing I get is on a full front stuff flex, with close to a full lock turn, with the tires aired down below 10 psi, the tire will rub the bottom of the frame rail of the jeep.
To run 37s with flat flares, you need a combination of 3.5" in the rear between extended bumpstopping and body lift (my 2.5" extended rear bumpstops & 1" BL are perfect).
In the front with flares, you only need a combination of 1" between extended bumpstops & body lift (running the stock front bumpstops with my 1" body lift is perfect).
You will need to remove or trim the stock front air dam & bumper--or just get an aftermarket stubby bumper.

I plan on running the Jeepers Jamboree on the Rubicon with this set-up in July.

Hey Pig, keep me posted on this. Still haven't purchased my long arms for my 3" FT Ultimate yet but that's the direction I'd like to go as well. I was really planning on needing a 1" body lift as well but if I can get there without it even better.
