Default Building a low center of gravity 2 door to run 37s

I'm about to start ordering parts hear real soon I'm gonna run 37s. I would like to have a LCG between 2.5-3.5in of lift. If you were gonna do the same how would you do it? What lift would you run? What tires and wheels would you run etc.. Give me your opions how and why you would do it that way.

Grab the Old Man EMU HD + Long Travel Kit and throw some 37's under there.

Call it done.

I put on a 3" lift and a 1" body lift to keep it low and run my 37"s. I like it allot...

Rock Krawler ran their 2.5" max travel on a 4-door with 37" and flat fenders at Moab. They said it performed beyond their expectations.

I like that 2.5 max travel I was considering something like that with a 1in body lift and tube fenders to keep me from having to do drive shafts right away and have a LCG but I like there 3.5 mid arm systems as well.

You wouldn't happen to know what bumpstop lengths he is running f/r would you?
