Default 37's on 3" TF Lift??

Is anyone running 37" tires on a 3" Teraflex lift? I've got the Bushwacker flares and so much empty space that I should be able to fit 37" tires. My pinch seam is already cut. Thoughts?

After a KM2 sidewall blowout, I have the opportunity to have my 35's replaced and put on CL to then upgrade to 37's. I see the sticky thread says I can only go up to 35" on the 3" lift, but with the flat flares, I want to believe I can go to 37's.

You may have to adjust bumpstops, but you should be fine with that setup. Low COG for the win! Friend of mine drove around with 37's and NO lift and cut fenders for a few days before the lift arrived.

What/how exactly would that be done and what would it do? Anyone else with knowledge on whether this setup would work? I offroad all the time so it would definitely need to flex/stuff appropriately. What is the biggest concern I need to be thinking about?

Hopefully there are some with more experience/ knowledge on this that can chime in. But I mean as long as you cut your pinch seam enough, the worst that really happens is you'll rub your fenders. Different 3" suspensions all flex differently. Your best bet will be to get the tires on, then do some test flexing to see if/ where it rubs. Then get longer bump stops if needed to prevent said rubbing.
