You can run 37's with either height spring. You will need to same bumpstop lengths for either lift (as bump stops are selected based on tire height and NOT lift height), and therefore likely the same length shock. Bumbtop legth will depend on fender choice. So it becomes a question of how much uptravel vs downtravel to you want. The taller the lift, the higher the belley clearance but the less down travel you get, however you get more up travel.

I'm running the 3.5 X-Factor with 37" MTZs and Poison Spyder narrow flares. I've toyed with the idea of dropping back down to 2.5 coils, but I really like the way it sits with the 3.5 coils.
Here it is with stock flares:

Hopefully soon I'll get to spend more money with you. I've been Jonesin' for PSC flares for a couple years now.

Factor in all your variables. I went with the 3.5" with 37 KM2's and it is too much lift. Why? I kept my build light, BFH bumpers front and rear, no spare, small winch. 2nd my tires run way small, so they are closer to a 35 than a 37. I am dropping to a true 35" tire and the 2.5" coils
