Hey Tyler, seems like a lot of overkill considering your needs... but you seem to have a grasp of everything involved. I'll let others chime in here as I'm typing this on my phone, but a short summation.
The 37" Nittos are a really heavy tire (about 91lb without the wheel).....you'll need a new front axle, and even then might want to reinforce it. As a DD, your gas mileage is gonna be rough. Also at 37" if you go 3.5" lift you'll probably need new driveshafts....doesnt matter if its a mall crawler, its the angle there that will eventually get you.
Personally, in your position I'd shoot for 35"s with a DD.....maybe 35"s, a 2.5" lift, sleeve/truss and gusset the front D30, 4.88 gears, and some flat fenders would get you where you want and take the sting out of the cost a bit. Because once you get the bug, you are gonna want this, and that....it never ends.........and trust me, the costs add up quick.
Check out the "Definitive Lift Kit" thread in my signature, a lot of guys have posted their lift experiences and recommendations. I run a Currie and love it, the wife has an RK and is very happy (except the Bilsteins are too stiff for her). Metalcloak is getting a lot of buzz, very high quality stuff. A lot of guys here piece their lifts together based on needs and budget.
Driveshafts I recommend Adams, although a lot of guys here like Tom Woods and JE Reel. As far as the axle you can look for a takeoff Rubi D44, but if you decide 35" is enough you can look at something like the Artec armor kit (C gussets and truss) and maybe sleeves for the front D30. As far as fenders go, a lot of people like the Bushwackers....I wasnt a big fan. I went with and love the GenRight 4" steel tube fenders, and at 2.5" of lift you can run 37"s on those. Also really liked the Metalcloak fenders, like their lift they are high quality.
