37's and 5.13 are a good match. being that you have a 6 speed and live in FL, i think you'll find that you have more than enough power.

This is a good post because I plan to upsize my tires soon. I have been reading people posting 4.88s with a 6 speed for 37s. I plan on going to 37s for now and up to 39.5 in the future. I only want to do a gear swap once.

I have 5.13s and a 6 spd and am running small 35s (KM2s). I can tell just from driving around that with 37" tires they will be perfect. I plan to get the 345/75R16 KM2s next because on an 8" wheel they measure out to 37.2." This would be an ideal set up. At the moment my JK is overgeared but I'd rather have that than still have my 3.21s.
