Then you have 2 options.


1.) 2.5" budget boost/spring lift
2.) 1.25" body lift
3.) extended brake lines
4.) front lower control arms
5.) front axle sleeves and gussets
6.) you'll want shocks to accommodate the larger weight of tires
7.) gears
8.) I'm probably forgetting something

Or the other

1. Rock krawler 3.5" lift
2. Front driveshaft
3. Extended brake lines
4. Sleeves and gussets
5. Gears

Inexpensive and 37s don't go together. A cheaper option might be a set of Metal Cloak fenders. I wouldn't go with a cheap lift with 37s. The fenders will fit 37s on a stock suspension. You could later add a lift.

He's absolutely correct. When you try to do things on the 'cheap', you usually rack up the cost with little things to make it all come together. Rather than bit and piece it together, just have a little patience and wait till you have more cash and do it right with a nice complete setup. You will be happier in the long run. I know we all like to do things right now, but wait......you'll be glad you did.

I think I would've asked this question before getting 37's. like everyone else said there is A LOT more than just a lift needed to roll on 37's correctly. It's not worth going cheap now just to brake something later & costing a ton more.
