For 37's a 4" is bare minimum.

Welcome to the forum!
I suggest that you start by reading the FAQ in this section. It contains a lot of information regarding how much lift and the consequences of it.
Once you decide on how much lift then run a few SEARCHES on some of the most popular quality lift kits like Teraflex, Rock Krawler, Full Traction, Rubicon Express, OME, Clayton and AEV and see which fits your needs the best.
If you want to see pictures of Jeeps with the lift kits installed just go to the Show Off threads in the Show and Tell sub forum.
Since you are familiar with lift kits maybe you already have a preferred brand. Although, if you experience is with pick up trucks, I suggest you take a look at the brands I listed above. IMO, many of the manufacturers that offer quality lifts kits for pickups do a poor job on their Jeep offerings.

the two I am familar with are terrafelx 6" longarm lift and the rancho 4" long arm. Both lifts are awesome. This is a budget question - spend as much as you can afford. Suspension is not where you want to skimp. I have the 4" and its a better ride than stock (with the 9000 shocks)
