35s have no problem with stock fenders. I gotta believe 36s would be no problem with xenons. I would be surprised if 37s didnt fit.

What he said. I think you would be fine.
I have 35's on OME w/ stock flares. Looking to get Xenons for a little bit more coverage.

I've got worn down 37's probably around 36's now, i dont wanna waste them, i would think that there would be some trimming to do, but for regular driving it shouldnt rub?!? i know i would need a wheel spacer, but should i do a 1" bodylift just incase? i really dont want to though

thx for the replies, should i be adding the adjustable track bar? are there any other components i should be getting? i decided to go for a 2" lift with the flares to avoid driveshaft problems that come with the 4" lifts cause i have a 2 door

dependin g on how heavy and how much gear you actually put in your jeep you may run into driveshaft problems when you go wheeling. this is a big personal preferance because not everyone has a heavy jeep and not everyone has driveshaft problems. you can only tell by experience
