the measurements from the center of wheel to flare: 20 inches in the front and 21.5 inches in the rear. And im having some decent amount of rubbing in the front. I trimmed the fenders and a little of the wheel well lining. any suggestions?

well i would suggest you get on a ramp and flex it until it rubs then measure how much room you have between your coil isolators and your spring pearch then add bumpstop accordingly.

they "will" give you more room but i would greatly suspect that it wont be enough. my suggestion would be to get some wheels with less (numerically) backspacing or some wheel spacers.

trying to gain HP?

i wouldnt recommend one at all, they dont do anything with the 4.0L and are pretty much a waste of money. Spend it somewhere else.

I agree with 4.56's being undergeared for 37's and personally i think the same for 4.56's and 35's as well.
I ran 4.88s with 35's and they felt pretty good, felt very similar to stock. If I were to run 37's I would probably go 5.29's. Just my .02, hope this helps.
