Default Pig off the line!!!! Getting gears and a lsd

Anyone do gears and an lsd in there D R/T? These 3.45 gears suck off the line. My buddy that owns a rear end shop will do the LSD and 3.73 gears for $800 installed. BTW, I am RWD not AWD


Any thoughts?

I'm 99.99999% sure that to swap the gear will require going to the dealer for an entire rear center section fofor the tune of +$1700. Been there, done that as far as research. Everyone can talk but nobody has done anything to improve off the line performance other than me. Gears weren't going to do what I wanted so I did the research, talked to the people that know what they are talking about and pulled the trigger on an Edge racing 3200 stall billet torque converter. Daily driving is fine and comes on so much harder. This is an older video before the tune was dialed in. Now it spins from a flat stomp, no brake pedal.

Would LSD be compatible and work well with ETC and ESC? Since car manufacturers started adding electronic traction and stability controls, I don't think I saw the option to also add a limited-slip differential/posi-traction.

I agree these gears are terrible. I would do the Stall but I am truly afraid of poor drivability everyday

Andre at edge is a Mopar guy with a stable full of SRT rides. He builds each converter to order once you give him every detail of your vehicle and mods. None of his units are off the shelf. Drives like stock when needed and when you want to be aggressive it is a different animal with the convertor and the tune that Sean has done. I'll get an around d town video here soon to give you an idea.

Gears are not happening unless you swap the entire JGCSRT axles. Was trying to do a swap with the ram (3.92) as they have the same 230mm rear axle ring gear. But apparently our carrier will not clear anything above the 3.70 gear in the SRT and even then it has to be modded because the Srt 3.70 is basically an e- locker which our PCM doesn't support. Somebody please tear apart our axle carrier and start shoving anything in there above 3.45 until it fits.
