I think 37's look great on both. I say go for it!

I feel like Planman just sits and laughs at threads about leaveling kits and 33s.

To the OP I like the look of 37s on a 2 door. Would I do it? Probaly not. Realistcally I won't ever need 37s and it would be a lot of extra money just for looks. Having said that, if I ever saw 37s or higher on a 2 door in real life I'd probably need a new pair of shorts...

Do it if you must for off-road capability, but anything over 37" on a 2-dr looks cartoonish in a clown shoes sort of way. Way out of proportion with the body. IMO, even the 37s are pushing it.

i think it looks fuckin sick nasty, and for you 5' tall woman story, the reason the rest of the world thinks it looks funny is cause they can afford the triple-D's

37's on mine. love the way it looks compared to 35's and the extra lift and tire height increase ground clearance/capability quite a bit.
