In a word... YES

 

Ok thats what i thought. I guess if they dont make the gears for the truck an SAS would work... hahah

 

What's that?

 

strait axle swap. The plus side to that is you can do susspensions lifts REALY easy.

 

IDT its been done to the 3rd gen dakotas yet but it has for 2nd. ITs probly alot of work.. But its somthing i definetly want to do eventualy

 

Update, superdak gave me the name/website of a guy who made HIS 4.10's work in front and rear. I called him and he is going to figure this all out by today. I will come back with an answer tomorrow, but for those of us with 4x4 looking to improve gearing... keep your ears perked. google CT axle, the guy's name is Peter.
Also, I encourage ALL to read this

Travis, good luck with the gears. I had no idea that finding them for the 4x4 was that tough. I bought mine from Bill at KRC, but that is for a 2wd. You will love the 4.10 man.

 

The verdict is in. The only thing to do for 4x4 is find the differential housing off an 02, 03 dakota front axle from a junkyard and then get the normal gears for front and back. Should be an extra $150 on top of normal gear purchase/installation. Good luck to all who want to go this route. It is the only way.

 

Only '02 and '03?

I'm assuming Durangos are fair game too? Thanks much for getting all of this info together.

 

well thanks trav now my one question would it be worth going from 3.55 to 3.92 or make the 4.10 work
