3" is enough lift for 37s, whether it is done with springs or spacers. You'll need at least 2 1/2" extended bumpstops, flat fenders, and trimmed pinch seems.

What he said Also, wheel spacers may not be the best idea. Since they only give you 4.75" BS, you may want to look into aftermarket wheels with a little less backspacing. Not mandatory, but it would prevent additional rubbing.

Unless you REALLY want to run 37's, stick with 35's. They can cause a lot of headache and you have to be willing to add/upgrade components to properly run them.
