Everytime he wheels difficult terrain, the 36" Swampers are on, I know, I store them here. we have been on the trail enough times on Scott's MJ build to know his setup is pretty good, jammed under rocks, doing burnouts relentlessly, etc, etc.
i'm willing to bet 36" TSL's are taller and heavier than 37" Pro-Comps.

guys it's called reverse psychology. obviously those D44's would be sweet to acquire, way to ruin the whole plan.
step one: offer the soup diversion step two: plant the idea that the D44's are garbage. step three: me scoring some sweet D44's for a bowl of soup
i was on topic the whole time but i was so mentally stealthy it made it by everyone's frontal lobe (associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving) and was interpreted as being asinine. my apologies. carry on.

Now if he could only build a rad... ;D. Couldn't resist... Just for something topic oriented...I agree with Jeff that gearing is the way to go with a minimum of 4:88's.

The only real thing I see wrong with the build is the supercharger..no need for that at all..if you want that kinda power drop in a V8
The super is gonna require premium gas and besides that it you will never be in the RPM range where it is useful offroad unless you are mud dragging it.
To and from the trail, yeah it would give u lots of power, but u would still be better off with a V8 swap

To the OP... your axles will hold up to 37's especially with chromos... however, 35's make more sense on a Rubi for a few reasons.
With 35's your 4.10's are fine... you don't need to trim anything with your lift... and you have plenty of axle without chromos (although they wouldn't hurt)... you already have selectable lockers, a good low tcase (4:1) ... Do a flat belly and skid the hell out of it and you are done..
With 37's you will need to re-gear, you will need chromos, more lift or trimming, steering upgrades etc etc and now you are really pushing the limits of other parts...
And the final though... once you go 37's all the small trails are no longer fun... so you hit the bigger trails and realize you are the 'little guy again' so you start looking at 1 tons etc etc... or you cut your loses and sell the jeep lol Vicious cycle for many on here ;D

Further to Rob's post, you'll likely want to upgrade your brakes with 35s or bigger...I can barely lock up 31s on my Rubi with stock brakes, anything bigger than a 33 would terrify me on road.
