Default 37 inch tires

I am planning on getting 37 inch tires on a 2007 rubicon unlimited with auto trans. I need to know from other people how they are as daily driver with 5.13 gears. Iam also thinking of going with the offroad evoluation coil overs front and rear. My wife said I could spend the money as long as it is done right. Any adviceon this would be very well appreciated cause Iam loking at about 20000 dollars with tires and gears and axles to this.

I just went to the same setup. It sux. 35s and 5.13s was just right. Now I need 5.38s or Dana 60s. Plus the 37s are so heavy that they affect brakes and steering. I wheeled with them and everything was okay in 4wd but on the street they don't ride as well and the power feels like 35s and 4.10s.

I run 37s, auto and 5.13s. I wish that I had gone with 5.38s. You will definatly not be in OD driving up anywhere from the LA area. It will look awsome and be great on the rocks. You will want a long arm lift it you want it to ride nice, which I think a DD should. In the rocks you either gearing will be fine.
