Just keep in mind to budget a new front DS if you don't do it immediately. Also budget to replace ball joints if you still have the factories. If you're going to run 37s you might want to budget for Dynatrac or Rare Parts. Also, if you're axle is completely stock, at least throw some gussets on it. If you don't flip your drag link, prepare for a little bump steer. You're jumping in the deeper end and will realize how much other stuff needs to be addressed once you do.....so just stay prepared so you don't have any rude awakenings.

I run Truetracs (front & rear) in mine. I love this combination.

If you keep the lift at 2.5 inches, you'll avoid a lot of the aforementioned issues with drivetrain, suspension and steering geometry, and save a ton of cash. With flat fenders and proper bump stop, you'll still have plenty of room for 37 inch tires. I have a 2" lift and flat fenders and I can easily clear 37 tires. I'm sticking with 35 though because of my Dana 30 up front.
