OME Lift w/ 37"
I was looking at getting a 2" lift ome and was wondering if that would work ok for 37" tires? Or would I need additional lift somewhere?

You're going to need a lot more than just a lift to run 37's bud. 2" won't even work unless there is some new way or lift that can. A lot more goes into running 37's other than lift height....

-rub the fenders if you don't bumpstop
-rub the sway bar if you don't steering stop it
-break or bend something in the front end if you don't build it
-you might need to regear if you don't have a 2012/2013 and 4.10
If you drive it on the street then sure it will probably last. To have us better answer your question... What year and model do you have.. also will you wheel it

I started out with a 2" HD OME lift. It was awesome with stock sized tires.
Once I put on only 35s and started to wheel it frequently I found there are a lot of additions that are needed because I rubbed on everything. In the end mine turned out to be a ~3.5" lift with extended bumpstops, spacers, OME long travel shocks, wheel spacers, brake lines, and cut fenders. New Trackbars, CAs, and DS helped too. As you can see I only still use the coils, but even those have a spacer. Now the system is complete the ride and flex are good. What I'm getting at is, if you go this route plan to part your own lift together if you want it to wheel right.
If I did it again, I would get a complete kit with my final tire size in mind.

WIth a 1inch body lift and flat fenders you might fit and work just fine.
Steering stops and bump stops will be required
Or
Take a look at their 4 inch kit and flat fenders. More complete kit. Excellent ride
