yup, I go to it for some info quite a bit. quick question. say you had 1: 3.55 + 265's and 2: 4.10 + 285's. Would having 2 feel as if you were using 1? Just trying to see if 4.10 gears would be best, much better than 3.55 and I think the next one up, what is it 4.56? would be kinda overkill, with the 285's. (might sound confusing lol).

Are gear swaps easy in a Dodge 4x4?? I may have to go from 3.55 to 4.10 because my 5th wheel is pretty heavy and the truck might be working a little too hard on the hills. Gear swaps in a ford aren't too bad but this is my first dodge.
