Default would it be possible to run 37's?

Right now I have the TF 2.5 coil and shock lift, I do mostly highway driving and don't wheel really hard but I do enjoy going on some easy/moderate trails. So what I'm asking is that would it be possible to run 37's just by upgrading to a 3 inch coil instead of the 2.5's that are on there already and throwing on a 1" body lift thus yielding an approx lift of 4". I know that there would also be some cutting and probably adding flat fenders later on. To strengthen up the D30 I would also get "C" gussets welded in. I just don't want to upgrade to 35's and be pissed that I didn't go up to 37's when I probably could have. Is this possible or should I just stick with my original plan of going to 35's? forgot to mention that I will be regearing to 5.13's with the larger tires.

thanks in advance for your answers and opinions on this question.

you will have to cutt the rear pinch seem on the front of the rear fender well on the tub of the jeep.

also u will have to extend your bumper stops to reduce rubbing when off road and .... hd steering stabilzer and you should be good to go
