Measure the leaf width ... or check the GVW. Besides the suspension and drivetrain, the 3/4 ton has a 12" frame v. a 9" on the half ton.

No idea what the gearing would be. Mine came with a secondary cooler. Part of the tow package (I think).

Stock gearing could be from 3.55's to 4.10's, it just depends on the truck the axles come from.
