Sounds fairly similar to what I ended up building on mine. My wms in the rear is 61.75 and the front is 63. So wider than stock but not crazy wide, about the width of an 80 series. Still tucks the 37s up in the fenders nicely. I spent the better part of a year designing the front and rear suspension to make it drive down the highway better than a stock truck would yet still be able to outwheel and flex most jeeps out there. Rear end I ended up making a cantilever setup with 2.5x8" coilovers that pull around 13 inches of travel, front is 2/5x12s. 3 link front and rear. Sway bars front and rear. I ended up with a 23" frame height so factoring in tire size it comes out to around 4" of lift over a stock 3rd gen. And with the turbo pushing about 300hp at the rear tires it should sing down the highway at 75 like its nothing. But again like the post above I had to design and build nearly everything from scratch in order to pull this off. That being said I used as many standard joints and service parts as possible so I can still find spares in the middle of nowhere.
