If you can run the stock bumper with out rubbing you should be fine. The AEV bumper is higher on the side that stock

AEV's jeeps can come with 37s so i dont think you would rub. The bumper is tapered at the ends unlike the stock front bumper.

AEVs Jeeps with 37s use the AEV 4.5" lift kit that provides about 5.5" of lift on the front.

What lift kit are you running with your 37s?
