One set of arms 'tilt's the axle, used for caster and pinion angles.
Two sets of arms lets you fine tune the caster/pinion, and also allows you to move the entire axle forward/backward in the wheel well.
Up front, lowers are all you will need. In the rear, you would want uppers to set the pinion angle if/when you replace that driveshaft. At appx 3" with 37's, you will want to trim the pinch seam and rubi rails if you have them, but you should not need to move the rear axle.

37's on my unltd would cause the rears to contact the TUB at the front of the tire @ full bump (TF 3"). No, not the seam, I have already trimmed it to a nub. I needed rear upper & lowers to position the rear axle back a tad to clear. I guess you could run addl bumpstop & limit travel, but why? Just my 2 cents.
thanks for the input guys i think im going with front lowers and rear uppers and lower.. and later add front uppers...
I have one more concern tho.. where i live its mostly mud and sand.. i want the joint on my arms to be able to take that without having to switch em every year.... I want the toughest there is! i wonder how the 0 maintenance would be? thank for the inputs

You will definately need to trim the pinch seams in front of the rear tires if you are running stock or non-adjustable lowers. Rock Krawler arms will move the rear axle back an inch but still require some trimming to clear the 37's.
