Default Would I be crazy to put 37" on 2013JKR Auto4.11 Sea Level 3.5" MetalCloak.

My jeeps going to be here anytime now. I ordered it with down payment 6 weeks ago. So I'm like an expecting father although I never had kids. I was thinking of going with the 355/65R 18" on 18 x 9" Vtec black rims. Measures 36.1" high. It will stay with stock gears.
Is this a mistake or should I just get the 325 x/65R which is a 35" tire I believe. I'm ordering the full Gamechanger set up 3.5" with the shocks and exhaust spacers. Their setups were designed to not need a new front drive shaft.
I'll have to lower my bump stops for stock fenders.

Do I order the 37" or the 35" tall tire? I'd like the 37" but only have 4.11 gears. I'm mostly driving hard dirt roads. Or to town on Pavement twice a week in the winter. Summer I drive the cars or Jeep in the rain.
I want this Jeep to look cool. It will be sleeping with this in my garage. Thanks for any advise I'll think over every suggestion.
