Thanks again!
That is what mine is set up for, and why I suggested the adjustables since you can go from high speed trails to low speed trails to the highway as well as adjust for towing or gear loads with a few clicks. Rock crawlers will give you different advice. Definitely not the least expensive route as pointed out (though Rancho 9000s are reasonable), so really depends on your budget as there are many good standard shock choices out there and you want to match your lift. I also think you would be out of your mind going with 37's as they would serve no purpose given your stated use and would cost you much more in other upgrades.

The reason I've thought about going ahead and doing the 37's is because if I'm going to spend money on it, I don't want to be redoing it a year or two down the road and spend the money twice.
If you aren't going to play for two years then wait two years to get 37s. Your wife will almost certainly hate driving it with tires that big.

You are way more likely not to spend money twice by waiting.
