I don't think slippin' a 37 under there would be out of the question. I would have to cut or change the siderails though, as they come pretty close to the 35's. Any closer and I'd have to cut them. Flat fenders would be a must too.

I test drove a 12 Sahara U with the 4 inch mopar lift and 35's and it drove like crap.
The ride was harsh, and had massive wheel shutter over small pot holes. That rig had 35 inch nittos on 20's.
AEV has the better reputation but i have not driven a jeep with their lift.
I ended up with a 12 Sahara with a 4.5 inch BDS lift, fox shocks and 35 nittos on 17s and drives like a dream. I have the AEV geometry correction brackets installed which made a serious improvement in bump response.
My Sahara came with 3.21s and I just switched to 4.10s which is plenty of go and decent gas mileage on the highway around 17-18 ish. I heard the new rubi's come with 3.73 or 4.10s which are both good for daily drivers.

AND 35 inch tires require a new tire carrier. Mine was mounted on the tailgate, but that only lasted for a 100 miles before the gate started to sag and pop. I went with the RE-S bumper with integrated tire holder. No more noises and it opens with the rear gate via a heim joint.

I have a 13 jku with 35s and aev 2.5 lift with geo brackets and it handles like a badass. So much better than stock. I have yet to add discos and run discod but have taken it off road (mild) and it may be a bit more stiff than other lifts, but I couldn't be happier.
