I'm going to match the sentiment of the other posters -- you are mislead if you think you need 9.5 inches of lift to get through whatever it is you are referring to. Don't fall into the "higher is better" trap. You'll end up with a jeep that rides like crap and tips over.

My jeep has a lift of 8-10in rides like a caddy, but it's also 87in wide in the front and 86in in the rear, and it never feels tippy, don't get me wrong low is cool, but I had to add BRS buddy recovery system to the rear of my jeep so when they can't make it over I can pull them over

yeah 37's are such an odd ball tire size. almost too big for half tons, almost too small for 1 tons. I'm hoping with the shaved 14 bolt, high clearance 60, and narrow H2's I won't drag too much.
I wish they made more 38" tire options. only decent radials I found are the kevlar$$

What are my options? Iroks? Pass. Pitbulls are expensive. I'd rather go straight to a sticky if I'm not going to run a radial. Them KRT-B's are up for sale on pirate all the time it's very tempting. But this jeep is still going to be street driven a lot. I'm not at all opposed to bias I just haven't found one that's very appealing yet. Plus I read the kevlars run true to their size. Every cm counts

I agree. But if you're on a tight budget, buying gets you more for your money than building in most cases. And if the person knew what they were doing when they built the rig, you're just reinventing the wheel trying to build it yourself. Not everyone has the time or means to build it themselves either.
