Default 37" tires on the street

I'm thinking about 37" inch tires on a soon to be mine unlimited X. I've currently got a YJ with 33s and I see no issue with them. Will this work as a daily driver?

Of course, the weekends will be filled with rocks and streams, but I gotta pay for those days with the 9-5 grind.

Please, replys from 37" drivers only. I know there'll be alot of opinions on this one but I looking for recommendations from people with actual experience.

Thanks in advance.

Regear to maintain overdrive (4.88s or 5.13s) and know you will eventually break your D30 if you do anything more than mild wheeling.

It depends on the type of driving you do. I usually only do around-town driving with mine (other than off road) and have absolutely no problems or complaints about power in this scenario. If your regular driving includes freeway use, or mountains, you WILL want to regear. It also will depend on your factory gearing. I have 4.10.

X2...I have an automatic and without gearing my overdrive is useless on the freeway but around town I have no problems at all.

I intend to get the mopar D44 (JK bolt in for $1479) and regear the front (to 4.88) even before the X arrives. Based on the replys tho, looks like the 37s are okay for a daily driver. Anyone against 37s for a daily driver?
