i would probably do a 2.5'' budget boost with a 1'' body lift...can i still fit the 37s on there?? and if i was to do that when i would turn would they rub anywhere at all? and would it look squished?

Got a 2Dr. or a 4Dr.? The 2.5" coil kit will lift the front more than the 2.5" BB kit will.

Search for member, Planman, He had 37" tires with a combo of suspension and body lift.

It's a lot easier to go 35" tires with minimal lift. Once you step up to 37" tires, it becomes much more complicated and potentially expensive.

35" tires require at a minimum, wheel spacers ($150) and a 2.5" budget boost from TF or RC (~$300)

37" tires, in addition to the above, require a body lift, rocker pinch seam trimming, rock rail trimming, fender trimming or aftermarket fenders, fender liner trimming, chop the front bumper or aftermarket stubby. If all that trimming and cutting does not sound good, you'll have to go to a bigger more expensive lift.
