Default 37's with 2.5" lift?

I have a 12 jkur with the 2.5" teraflex coil lift, front lower control arms and flat fenders. I'm currently running 35" km2's. Will 37's fit or will I need some more lift?

I personally would go to a 3.5" to 4" lift. Depends on the type of wheeling you do though.

depends on your wheeling.....but along with 37s come quite a bit more "requirement" per say. Also, bigger lift requires the same...........

Thinking he's talking about gussets, sleeves and shaved pinch seams. Those are the only requirements I can think of with out lifting it more.

I'm not a expert by all means but I think to keep
things from breaking. Like housing which is the main thing would be sleeves and gussets. Then you'll wear out your ball joints and u joints a lol faster. Cuz I've been thinking about the same thing to be honest lol not any time soon just when I get new tires in a year or so.
