The first day I got mine, I just see the same thing that you see. Even 35 is a tight fit when flex. I barely have an inch spare with stock 32. I wish DC have put the axle a little farther in the wheelwell. I'm pretty sure that adjustable arm is the way to go with 37'' so you don't have to put 4'' longer bumpstop to avoid contact and don't have to cut the rock rail and the part of the bodu that it protect.
Just what we like!

Way of life hit the nail on the head. 4" of lift is plenty to run 37" tires. The modification to the 1/4 panel can be done in a couple of minutes as well as shortening up the rock rail if you have a Rubicon. That mod should be done even if you had a 6" lift with 37's. My daily driver has a 2.5" BB from Tera and I run 37's on that on the street, with no rubbing.

Looks a little tight. The 37 krawler is a larger then average 37. But either way it looks tight. Im sure companys will start coming out with body lifts. A smaller 37, and a 1 inch BL might be a nice setup.

I plan on doing the grinding just because it looks bad as well as being a hazard. if there one thing i have learned its better safe than sorry. especially on trail. The mods dont look bad, just some time.
I agree with the bumpstops comment, they may not be correct.
