I would say get at least 4.56s

If you want more power 4.88s or even 5.13s are available but I wouldn't reccomend the 5.13 for a daily driver thats only rolling on 37s.

You won't get good gas mileage on the highway but it's not super extreme. Might be running around 2250-2500 RPM on the highway depending on speed.
