im not sure about that. but its not too complicated, if you have a 3.73 and down carrier (which you do) just find a set of "thick" 4.10s. there isnt really anything else you need, im assuming your going to take it to a shop to get done, correct? just call themand tell them you want 4.10s and they will sort it out. if you really want to do the shopping yourself, just worry about the gearset, the shop will get things like crush sleeves and shims.
How much more top speed can u get with the 4.10s?? or is it just meant for more torque?

a gear ratio is the amout of times an input power source has to rotate to make the output rotate once. In this case, its your driveshaft (input) to your axles (output). lower gears (numerically higher), will make it necessary for the input to rotate more times to make the output rotate once. With 4.10s the input rotates 4.1 times to make the output rotate once, so compaired to your 3.55s, the 4.10s will give you more torque and lower overall speed.

Just personal opinion. i would suggest to anybody doing this if your gonna do it change your LSD. My stocker blew out and its actually a kinda common problem. Not sure if its just with the 2500's or the Dana 60's but I have heard it on here before. Take it to a shop have them swap everything out and be done with it . Will cost a little extra but gears are one of the things that if its not just right you'll be spending more in the long run.
