Default 37" what to do?

Have a 2012 rubicon 4-door. Automatic. I lifted 3.5" with the metalcloak gamechanger set. This week installed Synergy tierod and draglink and more stronger balljoints.

At this moment have mt wheels with 32" on it.

So i can buy a set of discovery SST 37" at a really good price... and was thinking....

But what do i need more?

Regearing to what? Living in Samana, Dominican. Lots of driving in mountains, sandy and muddy roads, crossing rivers, beaches and sometimes a highway. Not rock crawling or that kind of havy stuff. Daily driving.

And do i need gussets, truss and sleeve? Is this necessary?

Thanx for your help fooks.

I would get some flat fenders for added tire clearance, and 4.88 if its an automatic. I have 37's with an auto and I put in 5.13's. I messed up. It's geared too low for highway driving. At 70 mph I'm at about 3000 rpm. If you never need to drive that fast in your area, I would consider the 5.13's. It will be easier on all the starts and stops and around town driving. Oh ya,,, if you haven't already,,, you need the ProCal to re calibrate. Good luck!

Re-gear to 4:88, sleeve and gusset the axles, you're good to go.
