37's aren't that much more in the scheme of things.. And I haven't noticed any difference in handling when I moved up from 35's to 37's...I'd go with the 37's. if anything is worth doing, its worth over doing

Dude you really have to ask? Your rig is trimmed and ready to go. Slap some gussets on and throw those 37s on

37's if you prefer "show" to "go". If you really wheel it, 37's will wreak havoc on your stock driveline, and even with the 4:1 transfer case your 4.10's are going to bring teh suck with 37's. If you really want a rig to wheel hard, 37's call for cromo shafts, some sort of front axle tube stiffening, and 4.88's or 5.13's - and ideally hydro assist.

35's if you value mechanical reliability for daily driver use - or for use in areas where you can't rely on a friend to tow you to a spot where a two truck can get you quickly.

I'd step up and offer you my tires so I too could be a real man, but then you'd be left with tires that showed your true potential, none (remember, big rubber fixes that).

Hmm... I now feel inadequate. Geez... thanks.
What are you running ? Any pix ?

I'm not an expert on the subject as I'm fairly new to the jeep world but I've been doing a bunch of research for my own jeep. Most of the stuff I'm finding recommends 35's if its going to be your DD, especially if you spend time a decent amount of time on the highway. Most of what I've read recommends a re-gearing if you go 37 or above.
