37's is going to require, regear, if you have a 2 door JK, definetly new driveshafts.
Fulltractions coming out with a 4" short arm shortly. it would be worth the wait.
I can't comment on the lifts in question, I dont know anything about them.

If you aren't going to do much offroading, get a 2.5" budget boost or a 3" suspension lift and 35" tires. The 35's are more forgiving if you have 4.10 gears. 37's are going to suck on the highway, especially if you have an automatic tranny.

It's your Jeep, it makes no damn difference how much you are going to offroad it. If money's no factor, then don't "settle" for a Budget boost because you don't plan on offroading it much. I don't care if it never sees dirt, If you want a 4" lift, get a 4" lift. It'll look great. I have the Skyjacker. It's a good lift, just get adjustable front and rear Trackbars.

Whether you need to regear or not for 37's depends upon the gearing you have now. 4dr JK's came with either 3.21 or 4.10 gears. If you have the 4.10, you would be OK, but you would lose a lot of acceleration and may have problems on steep hills. If you have 3.21's, you would definately need to regear.
If you are not going to do a lot of offroading, then I would strongly suggest going with 35" tires instead of 37's. The 37's are really going to stress your suspension components (tie rods, steering knuckles, bearings, etc...) and you will see extreme wear. Also, once you go above 3" of lift, you begin to get into the realm of stressing driveline components as well and if you do not go to custom driveshafts, you may get vibes or at least wear out your u-joints much faster.
Do some searches in the forum on the various lifts and the dependencies among them.
Good luck!

I have a manuel 6 speed and my jeep has 4.10 gears. I might never take it off the road, I just feel like 35s are not big enough. I was just wondering if any of you guys have that set...37's with stock 4.10 gears
