I have the TF 3" on mine with 35's. I believe TF says it will give about 4.25". I didnt' measure, but eye balling it, that seem about right. I expect that to change some with bumpers, winch, etc too.
I have no doubt that I could fit 37's under it with flat flares; but I'm not sure it would allow for my desired articulation. So, if/when I decide to go to 37's I'll add flat flares at a minimum and possibly spacers. However, I like the look of flat flares above an appropriately sized tire.
As Dirtman already pointed out though. there is a lot more work and $$ into running 37's. I personally couldn't justify the expense for my 90% DD but everyone is different.

If its for on road use...i would say a TF2.5" and a 1' or 2" body lift. I know its not the ideal way to do it but it'll clear um and its alot cheaper

I'm seriously thinking about just going for the 4 in tera flex but only running 35s for now then hopefully by the time I need new tires I will have everything else ready to go
I have been surfing the forum hard and seeing what things needs done.

I really like the looks of the UNLIMITED with 37s.

Any other ideas would be great

Do your homework. If you have a 2dr, I would highly recommend a long arm kit. I put a 4" super lift on my 2dr and the ride is horrible. Once I save up some cash, I will be installing the Full Traction bolt on long arm kit. Wish I would have gone with this in the beginning.

I say go with the entry level Clayton 3.5 lift. That way you get the clearance for 35's and the room for the upgrade to 37's, plus the kit Clayton lift compared to the Teraflex lift with no shocks is is only a $100 difference but you get so much more for money.
