There have been some really good suggestions so far, and obviously ones that involve Dynatrac are the best! ;-)

With going to 37s, upgrading your brakes will be pretty important, because the increase in both wheel/tire diameter and weight puts even more load on your brakes to get the Jeep stopped because of the extra inertia and mass. For both regular driving, and on the trail when you need to keep the Jeep in place on a steep incline or decline, going with an upgrade like our ProGrip brake system will give you all the stopping/holding power you need. Best part is, you don't have to crack open the brake system's hydraulics, so no bleeding required. You can learn more about the ProGrip, including some install and comparison stories, along with a great before/after video at https://www.dynatrac.com/brake-systems.html

West Texas Off-Road "Red Neck Ram Assist". $400-ish dollar cost, works like a champ and makes wheeling on 37" tires easier than it was on stock tires with no ram assist. PSC ram assist is just goofy over priced and is spending a lot of advertising time and money to sell you an expensive system that doesn't need to be. Sure, anyone that dropped $1200+ on it will say how it's the very bestest in whole wide world... and then a guy with a $400 Red Neck Ram comes up the trail and has the very same experience.

I know a ram changes the steering feel but not having driven one I don't know what that means at 80 on the interstate. Seems like with the box you would keep the same steering feel at high speed, but then again I don't know that for sure either...
