Dude,

I think you deffinitly came to the wrong place to get talked outta anything thats cool on a Jeep. I personally like the 37's on a jeep, but think that 35's are where its @.

Talking

LOL

A guy walks into a gay bar, and asks to be talked out of a BJ.

35s for a 2 dr. 37s for a 4dr.

I would put the 37s on to compensate for the dragging rear.

I agree. A 4" lift with 35s would look good and perform well.

Ok,

A 4" lift with 35's looks and rides great. But a 4.5" lift with 37's is even better, but then again I am biased.

I've got 37's and want 40's now... just do it... a Rubicon wheels really well with 37's, you can do anything.... just don't spin tires for fun (hell the JK doesn't have enough power to do that anyways with 37's! hehehe).

37's are very cool- but 35's are just fine for me-

I think with the added inch in the lift (I would imagine you need a 4.5")~
along with the extra inches in the tires would make it more difficult to get in & out of.

I've learned to shimmy & hop...and when no one is looking, I hike up my skirt.

No not the same thing.

I understand your BJ metaphor is tongue in cheek, but nevertheless difficult to swallow.

But anyway,... Some good points being made.

Thanks, and more comments are welcomed!

starting out small & working your way up is a huge waste of money.... not to mention aggrivating. you have the axles to handle 37s. you just need gears and a good lift.

i started with 33s and a small lift & am kicking myself in the a$$ for wasting the time & money. you'll get 35s then still want 37s in the end (i got 33s and am wanting 35s). unless you wanna wait 1-2 years after the lift, just go with 37s now. even with 35s you gotta regear. why pay twice for tires?

or better yet, go with 35s, then in 3-6 month when you want the 37s, you can sell me your 35s at a great price
