If your stock tire size is 28" and your stock gears are 4.10's, according to the gear calculator I just looked at, by going to 37" tires, you need to regear to 5.41 (closest to that is 5.29) to keep stock ratio's. Since you are going to 5.71's (or plan to?) your engine will have lower gearing which will help power on the highway but be a little on the revvier side which might actually help offset the slight power loss from having tires that are much heavier (heavier rotationg mass). Plus the 5.71's being lower will work better with your transfer case on the trail for crawling and stuff like that so it's probably the way to go. Just make sure you get your gears set up by a pro who knows his stuff as these gears I'm told are "touchier" than the higher gears (lower numerically).
