Planman has the answers you seek, but off the top of my head

1" body lift

3.5" total extended rear bumpstops

2.5" total extended front bumpstops

But look for one of planmans threads on running 37's for the best info.

You will have to trim the pinch seem in the rear fender well.

On my 09 i ran 37s on a 2.5" procomp with 3/4 spacers in the front 2.5" bumpstops front and rear. No rear swaybar front disco. Folded the hole rear pinch seam over cut 2.5" off the rubi rail and cut my factory flares. The only rubbing i had was the front tire on full turn on the the lower control arm and the drive shaft on the tranny it was an auto.

you can roll with you current set-up as is. You'll get some rubbing at full stuff but if you don't articulate much it won't be an issue. With my 2.5" bb, I cut the pinch seam and chopped the front bumper. will be working on the fender chop over xmas.

I run 37s on my Teraflex 3" with flat fenders, trimmed pinch seam, and since I have longarms I was able to adjust the axles so nothing really contacts anywhere. I do get some tire run on the upper spring perches and frame rails up front, but I have 4.25" bs wheels, so some 3.5" bs wheels or some wheel spacers would fix that.

dont forget to consider gears as well. with 37's 5:13 for manual and 5:38's seem to be a good idea to keep drivability on hills.
