I went ahead went with BDS 6.5 suspension long arm kit with upgraded Fox 2.0 reservoir shock. The shop gave me $600 for my procomp 4 inch lift so I could not resist. The kit comes with a lift time warranty and is made in the USA. The shop head guy/owner said the JK would handle like a stock jeep and this kit has everything in it. I also added artic tuss and sleeves along with new ball joints to the front dana 30 and rear 44. The shop is painting axles black which I was pretty satisfied to hear at no additional cost. I just hope I'll be able get jk in a 9 foot garage with 6.5 lift on 37's??????

Cut the pinch seam... 5-6in of lift is ALOT for 37s and a jku in general... You'll most likely be more unstable offroad, have worse on road manners, and not much if any benefit on suspension travel. Even with that much lift you still might have to cut the pinch seam to keep from rubbing it
I run 3.5" lift with 37s and all is fine. The stock rear fender liners were rubbing a little on some bumps with my AEV lift, but I took them out and no issues anymore.

Wow, 6.5inch lift seems really high and seem like some major instability offroad. I run 37's on 4.5" with no rubbing (all adjustable control arms, trimmed pinch seams, and flat fenders)
