Any specific reason you want 37's? 35's look great and are more than enough tire with minimal trimming and lift needed. You will need to trim the skid plate, my 275/70/18 (33's) bfg's rubbed at full lock on the skid plate. I just have bilstein 5100's set at 2.5" in the front and coachbuilder +2 shackles in the rear. I wish I had gone with +3's bc it has too much bro-lean when I have any weight in the bed. I may upgrade my leaf pack.
I am not a fan of the bracket lift also. You have to cut out part of the frame, you gain no ground clearance or suspension travel. I think 35's on a approx 3" lift is best performing option. Icon seams to have one of the best shock pkg for it. Or you can go with OME or Toytec Boss for a less expensive option. 37's will fit on a 3" lift like demello but you have to run a narrow 37, aftermarket bumper, body shop, and I think there is still some rubbing on sway bar or control arm. I can't remember. I was looking into this but decided to stay with 35's as the really do everything I need from a truck this size.
I have gone some pretty narly stuff with my 35s if you do go 37 than you will want 4.88 gears. I have a sc but with 35s I dont have power issues I just dont like the shift points changed. You can resolve that with a hyper tech or now the big bad bully dog programmer. Make sure you get the factory 4.30 I think some tundras that dont have tow package only have 4,10s. And yes my 35s rub a little at full turn so I wouldnt expect 37s without all the tricks 3 inchs and definafely rubbin

Agreed, You just have sift through 75% of the threads about the following topics:
What rockstar/XD/ballistic (bro wheels) should I go with?
What spacer lift should I go with?
What muffler should I get?
Hey, just throwing some stuff out there. The 17" Method double standards fit with no rubbing on the calipers. If you have a 4wheel parts store near you, they price match online prices. Bumpersuperstore.com has a lot of bumpers, free shipping, good pricing. I quoted their price and picked up a winch bumper for under $1000 at my local 4 wheel parts (saved about 400). I'm runnng the king oem coilover and shock setup (2.5 with reservoirs all around), upgraded to the 700lb springs and removed the swaybar. It goes faster than I ever said I'd allow myself to, on dirt, all day long.
Most coilovers come with 600lb springs. Once you add a bumper and winch you need to go with a heavier spring.
