personally, i think 22s are too big for 37s. seems that the duratracs may be best for your driving habits, without going to an A/T and losing snow performance.

your last questions, if im reading it correctly, an unlimited x is a base model, just with 4 doors. that is, unless you have the 24s package, etc...

I would not put a 37" tire on a factory tire carrier. I recommend buying a new bumper/ carrier combo, or haul the spare in the back of the Jeep.

37' won't fit on your stock carrier so you will need either a bumper/tire carrier combo or an adapter to be able to put the 37" on your stock carrier. But be careful, that's too heavy to put on and will damage your tailgate. I am looking at this myself. http://www.quadratec.com/products/22202_2001_07.htm

so 37 to big for oem tire carrier does 35" tire fit on oem tire carrier if it fit i gonna loking for 35 and it at least cheaper than 37 and wan you put 37 do you need to regear and go with bigger axle or just if you go serious off road

and does anyone have try daystar lift kit I got 3" polyherathane spacer with 1" BL combo i keep my factory coil spring does that good I suppose my ride gonna stay more comfortable like that than put longer coil spring

...if this is a 60% street JK () 22" rims wrapped in 37" street tires will ride like shit. Especially with a stiffening suspension kit designed for off-road use. The only reason 22's don't feel like you're spine is getting hammered in other vehicles (think tahoe or hummer) is because people run air-bags or a variable ride suspension kit with soft springs/coil-overs... A vast majority (maybe one or two are the exception) of 22" rims are not designed for vehicles that go off-road. The Jeep is one of those vehicles.

20" rims seem like a more viable option and some members here do run 20's (although most with bigger than 37" tires). You will also almost certainly need a new set of brakes front and rear to compensate for the insane amount of weight you will be adding on rotational force. This sounds like a serious road hazard in the making.
