Hit the back arrow a few times. Stuck right to the top of this modified area are the FAQ's and Thoughts on Lifts threads. (If you are on a phone, well, I forget what folder they are in, but you should still be able to find them.)

So, start by getting a handle on what each of the specific components in your new lift actually does. Then get a handle on at what heights people start wanting them. And what issues lifting causes that make those components wanted/needed. Look for things like: caster correction, pro's/con's of CAM BOLTS, steering angle correction, pro's/con's of a DROP PITMAN, the need for new driveshafts, why you want your swaybars to remain level, how much bumpstop you will want for your specific build, extended brakelines/brackets, backspacing requirements for the 37's, etc, etc. (note the capitalized ones!! They are in that lift...)

And, be prepared for a lot of people telling you that a 'JK' does not need 4 inches & flats to run 37's...
