If you don't mind cutting your fenders, front bumper, losing your rear bumper or cutting it, and cutting your pinch seams... you can run 37's on your stock suspension although I wouldn't recommend doing so. You will rub at times. People will always ask you, "What was that?" So with that being said, I'd recommend doing at least a 2.5'' budget boost.
I agree with the others though. Running 37's can start to increase the coin spent to run them properly very quickly. I've got over $3400 in tires and wheels alone. Feel like I got ripped off somewhere.
Good luck with that build though!

Tera Flex JK 4-door 2.5 inch Lift Kit, W/Shocks (1251000) my question is if i got this what else would i need along with it? if anything

Even if the axles/ball joints/etc hold up, running that much tire without at least a regear (especially with a v6) would drive me crazy.

From everything I have read and set ups I have saw don't go with 37 without at least a 3 1/2 in lift with flat fenders. You shouldn't have rubbing with that setup. If you do the 1 inch body as well you will be golden if you decide to wheel it.

For a pavement princess a 2" budget boost and some flat fenders will get you into a set up to run 37's relitivly cheap. You will want wheels with a 3.25" back spacing or less to maintain full steering. If you drive mainly city you will be fine on the factory gears with the 6 speed but you will hate taking it on the highway.
