Default What should I look for in gear/drivetrain upgrade for a daily driver?

So what should I look for? I will have a 4'' short arm kit on 35''s by Friday(currently run 35''s on 2.5 TF BB). I am looking at what would be good for my daily driving needs. 2011 JKU automatic, non rubicon.

I thought about 5.13's and figured I would be safe if I were to upgrade to 37''s with flat fenders later on. However would I need to beef anything up or would a gear swap be good? I do not plan on wheeling it excessively, light hilly trails in the country of Georgia is about it and backroads for hunting.

Stick with 35's and 4:88 gears for a DD. 37's are gonna add more weight and stress on the suspension which leads to more money.
