Nothing wrong with the dimensions as any skilled welder fab guy can raise or lower where ever to get it right. Being a 4x4 you have it easier as placement of items wont be as critical as a slammed 2wd truck. For 37s go big, the JK parts are weak. All the brackets for the suspension need to be redone with aftermartket. Actually the entire suspension system should be aftermarket, that's the main issue with them. They were built cheap & poorly from the factory.
