4.88 for 37" tires. 4.56 for 35"s and 4.10 for 33"s this is based on more 4x4 than hwy use.

I second the 4:88's for 37's. That is the largest you can get in the stock ram 1500 axles. Dana 44 in the front and chrysler 9.25 in the rear. I think you will need the thick gear for the front axle. not sure if yukon makes one for it or not.

If your gonna do the gears go with the 4:88's. I have 38's with 4:88's and the 318 and auto trans. i'm getting between 11-12 mpg around town. I get roughly 14-15mpg on the highway with OD. @ 65mph I run roughly 2-2200 rpms..

As you are planing on using a clocking ring for the t case there might not be any ds issues, just have to wait and see till you get it all bolted in.
