the body lift will be perfect for fitting 37s but im not so sure about the winch bumper. you could probably fab something up but thats all up to you

Do a 2" or 2.5" leveling kit. Much easier to install

yea the bumper mounts are just 1/4 inch plates that slide the bumper up. if it even held the bumper up, the winch wouldnt be useful
