2275 on 37" tires at 1 to 1 ratio at 60 MPH indicates 4.10 gears.

Off the top of my head, I know the Dana carrier break is 4.10 up or down.
And I don't remember a break in the Sterling axle.

However I did read an article in Four Wheeler that recommended against towing heavy with rear ratios numerically above 4.10 and tire sizes above 38" due to pinion bearing failures.
