Default 37's on Stock Moab Wheels....Whats needed?

I got a sweet line on some 37/12.50/17 Yokohama Geolanders MT's from a buddy. I was thinking of mounting them on my '07 2Dr Rubi with Stock Moab's, and running with a RC 2.5" Lift & 1.125 BL, SpiderTrax 1.5" spacers, 2" exteneded front & rear bumpstops, trimming my pinch seams, and Rubi rails.
Question is would I need to do anything else to run this setup properly. I should mention that I guess I would have to gusset my axles up for strength. Anything else......Input solicited

This is the setup I'm doing. Also doing the stubby bumper, pinch seams and flat fender mod.

I love the low lift/big tire setups.

Why do you say that I have to stay under a 1" BL with a stick? I'm currently running a 1.25"BL without any issues...Just saying

A lot of people have reported shifting problems after >1" BL's. This is why Rough Country includes a shifter extension with their 1.25" BL for the 6 speed.
