"BS" = backspacing, not bullsh*t in his reply. Backspacing will determine how far the wheels stick out, and whether or not you'll have rubbing issues.

Poser? Man I know there is always going to be somebody that says something about somebody or something. Built for bitc*ing is what i like to say. I dont remember buying my jeep to meet your expectations. Sorry for your loss.

I haven't took my jeep off road yet. And who cares. I have 33's. To be honest I hate the look of any wrangler with small tires like 29 inches or smaller. It looks terrible. Call me a poser all u want

Welcome to the Jeep family!!! Let the addiction begin. As for " poser " I wouldnt worry about what someone else thinks??? Enjoy the rig with your family and let the TOOLBAGS be concerned over childish "titles" make it your own have lots of fun and dont forget to wave!!! If you do decide to wheel it there ate plenty of good responsible people to guide you along....

Good luck with the build!
Make sure you get adjustable control arms with your lift, it makes such a difference in the handling. I would gusset for 37's just to be on the safe side.

I second the adjustable arms.... Gonna absolutely need it to adjust caster after a 4" lift. Otherwise deriving that thing will be like a wrestling match
