Nice freakin jeep.
One concern is the auto tranny and 37's. drive it and see what you think. That's a lot of rubber for the 4 speed slush box and 4.10's.
Assuming if both driveshafts were replaced some thing was done for pinion angles. I am not familiar with that lift company.

If you can't see it in person right now I'd ask for high resolution pics of the under carriage. Mainly looking for dent's and scraps. It's a Jeep and he built to wheel it but this could help with how hard he wheeled it.
Also I'd really look at how much your spending on this because it could be worth looking into a 2012 or 2013 with the new engine and then building your Jeep the way you want. Yeah it will take more time but at least you'll be confident because you know whats been done to it.
Either way good luck with Jeep!
