I run 38's. My jeep used to run 37's, but I have enough lift/build to run 40's.
The difference between 37s and 38s in proper vehicle prep is surprisingly large. I rubbed everywhere with the 38's while my 37's cleared with no problem. I had trimming to do, bump stop adjustments and lift changes as well.
I don't know how your jeep is built, but if you wheel at all 40's will destroy all the stock components in your rig. I run dual D60's with my 38's. Also, 40's will require at least 6" of lift, or the complete elimination of uptravel on the front end. just make sure you are prepared for the entire committment needed for 40s. 37s are much easier.
Either way, your rig will be sweet!
