Default What gears for 37'' tires

2000 dodge 2500 24 valve
Auto trans
6'' lift with 37'' tires
Daily driver in the city mostly but with snow season coming up going to be making trips up the mountains very frequently

So what gears should i get to get as close as I can to the way it normally was.

Keep in mind.......70% city driving and 30% driving up the mountains


WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK

4.10 since its an auto...

don't go to anything lower than 4.10.

I have 4.10's with 35's and a 6spd and I HATE the 4.10's...I want 3.54s... 1st gear is absolutely useless in my truck. 2nd gear im in for only a second...I shift 3 times just to get to 40mph... rather annoying...and that 3 shifts goes fairly fast.

if you are worried about it lugging...build the trans a bit, upgrade the fuel system, and throw bigger injectors in there. power will easily overcome it then...
