it could be 4:10 or 3:70. The bigger the tire, the lower the gear you want. 4:10 is the lower of the two. be prepared for crappy mileage.

It should be on the sticker inside the glove box, on the dealer info sheet if you still have it, or you can get the vin and do a vin decoder...

For 37's and no real towing 4.56's are good and slightly lower than stock which will compensate for the tire weight, for lots of towing go 4.88's.
