Default 2007 dodge ram 1500 gear swap ??ss

Ok guys I'm pretty new to the gear and pinion swap along with the axle swaps so ima try and fill you guys in my situation the best way I can.

First and foremost I recently bought a 2007 dodge ram 1500 4.7 flex fuel 4x4 stock gears are 3:55.

Tires I'm running are 37x13.5x20 with a 6" RCX lift.
NOTE: there is no LSD

So the question is it worth buying a LSD and putting the 4:56 gears in that I want, or is it possible to swap my 1500 axles our for the 3/4 ton axels or maybe even the 1 ton axles?

I've done some reading up I coulnt really find anything that helps. So any input would be appreciated good or bad lol thanks for reading.

James

Holy crap, a 4.7 pushing 37's on 20" wheels. I would be looking at 4.88's if I were you, and yes, get an LSD with that pronto.

I just had 4.56's put in and I'm running 35's with a Hemi. I would like to see how your truck feels off the line and freeway passing acceleration. Got any pictures of that bad boy, 37's have to look bad a$$.
