All good info. I'm running with a 2.5 Coil lift & 1.25" body lift. I have 1.5" Wheel Spacers and I'm looking to put 37x12.5's on my stock Moab's. Other then the steering stops, have you done anything else to accomodate the 37's such as: extend your bump stops?
By the way your Rig's stance looks great! Thanks

You're just about there. Check the Planman's write-up on how to run 37's with minimal lift:
