Default Least amount of lift for 37s with full flares???

Everyone talks about LCOG, 37s, and flat flares. But, what is the lowest lift for 37s, but keeping full factory flares? 4"? Pics if you got them...

i think you can fit 37"s with a 3.5" lift but if your gonna do serious flexing youd want a 4"

I plan on getting a 12 Rubi w/ color matched flares and will want to keep them. I do wheel my jeep and it will get fully flexed on 37s... so maybe 4" TF w/ arms??

aev 3.5" lift with the bumpstops from the 4.5" lift. all you have to do is trim the pinch seam. thats what im doing this summer. i will be keeping my stock flares and it will not rub...because im sacrificing flex by putting in taller bumpstops. worth it for me tho. no need to do a new drive shaft on a 2dr that way either =)

I'm running 37 with stock flares with a Trailmaster 4.5" kit. No rubbing, just used the included bump stop extensions. The nice thing is with this kit the rear axle gets centered perfectly in the rear wheel well and you don't have to trim your pinch seam or stock Rubi rails
