Mud, rocks or trails? How deep are your pockets? Well built rig with 37's means aftermarket axels front and rear. Going that high also means changing your whole suspension. High probability of new driveshafts & steering fixes.

Then the new carrier to handle the heavy rubber.

Think this thru and hold off on purchase. Are you willing to spend ~$20,000 on upgrades?

Slow down. The best mod any jeep has is a skilled driver that can pick lines. And it's best to wheel a few times completely stock. If you know you will replace stock axels then no reason to buy a Rubicon. If you keep axels, then Rubi axels have lockers. Get 4.10 gears. Just don't rush into things and buy without a long-term goal. Read the stickies on lifts.

Stop, take a deep breath and research some more...if not, but the most expensive Jeep on the lot!
