Default 5.38's and 37's?

I tried to search but it wont recognize 5.38. Whats the opinion on running 37's on 5.38 gears. These will be in a d44/gm14 bolt set up. Stock 4.0L and aw4.

Running at 65 you should be turning about 2380 rpms so I would say the 5.38 gears are perfect for 37s.
You are showing that you will be running a d44 front and a 14 bolt rear. Is the 14 bolt the full floating 10.5 or the semi-floating 9.5 axle?
