IMO, 37's and 5.13's is perfect.

I had 35's and it was a little to much gear. 37's made all the gears highway friendly. If I need a lower gear, down shifting is very easy

Do you have an auto or standard transmission? If it is an auto I highly recommend you go with 5:38s with the 37s. I had 37s with the 5:13s and switched to 5:38s. The 5:38s were much better-2,500 rpms @ 70 mph.

I agree 100%. 37's and 5.13's are the perfect ratio! Great on the highway. I love the hum of my tires as well as I'm cruising down the road!
