Default 18-37's

If anyone has 18 inch wheels with size 37 tires, can you post your pic so I can get an idea of what it looks like?
With a JK Rubi, how much lift is needed with that kind of wheel/tire modification?

I want to gusset my axles, add chromo shafts, gussets, etc. before I go 37s. They weigh a good deal more, and are wider along with taller so I decided I would run 35s while I upgraded my axles and prepared for the 37s. I geared my Auto JK to 5.13s to compensate for 37s, but I think the 5.13s and 35s are perfect so I am not sure I want to go 37s now. I prolly will tho when these wear out.

I bought the mudgrapplers too. I got them cause I hate mud (you are wondering why buy a mud tire if you hate mud, huh), but I hate getting stuck in the mud worse. The aggressive lugs on the mud grapplers self clean great and tear through mud like it is nothing.
