What Mods to run 37X12.5R17

What suspension modifications need to be done to run 37X12.5R17. I'm currently running 35X12.5R17 (really 315/70-17) on a stock suspension w/ only a little rub when I turn the wheel all the way over. Would something as simple as a 2" lift work? Not looking at spending any more than I have to.

I don't think 2" will work without lots of cutting and bending. I would go 4" minimum.

4.5 to 5" is comfortable with the right wheel...8.5 to 9" width...real close to 6" backspacing.

So what does it take $$$ wise to put on a 4" lift? Will H2 wheels have enough backspacing?

im not sure about how much the lift is, but the h2's I believe, (somebody chime in here) are 6" backspacing (could be wrong dont quote but I should be close). I know that there is quite a number of lift kits on ebay for reasonable price

I'm pretty sure the H2's are 17x8.5 with 5.5" backspacing, but I have looked at so many wheels now I've confused myself .
