'Fully' upgrading your front d30 will put you in the same ballpark as a PR44 or Tera44 shipped to your door. (since we are spending your money here, toss the d30 and call dynatrac 
) Anyway, decide what your actual needs are before taking that part of the discussion further.
An auto on 37's, 5.38's are probably the right call. If you keep the front d30, then 5.13's.
But, maybe you should back up a few steps and give us some insight on what your actual needs/usage are. Do you 'need' to dump 4 or 5 grand into a front axle? Do you 'need' lockers? Or is the 6" lift and 37's just for looks to get you over the speed bumps at the mall...

So whatcha guys think for a mall crawler on 37's and stock D30?? I know it's been beaten to death but I just bought some 37x13.5x18 an I want to know besides gusseting the C's what do I really need to do? I'm not embarrassed to say its a mall crawler cause here in Florida we for really have that much of anything. So do you think I'll be ok with just gussets if the biggest thing I usually go over is a speed bump?? Lastly, what gears should I put in on a 12' JKU Auto?? 5.13's or should I save up and do a PR44 ?? Thanks guys!!
