How much cutting do I have to do to run 37s on the back of my stock 2door JK?  I don't want to use any aftermarket bumpstops or suspension.  I just want to keep it stock with 37s. Oh yes I have no use for a back seat.

If you honestly don't mind cutting you should be able to make 'em fit. You may need to tub the front of the rear fenders or move the rear axle back an inch or so though, however this can be done with aftermarket adjustable arms. Backspacing of the wheels will be critical. I suspect you'll need something around 3.25-inch backspace, maybe even less. Stock wheels ain't gonna work unless the tires are really really narrow.
