Default 2013 AWD R/T Gear Swap?

Hey all--been thinking about a (very expensive?) gear swap for my 2013 AWD R/T. Could this be done reasonably if at all? Like to go to the 3:91 so my tranny gears aren't so tall, especially when towing. I like the 8speed, but mine's paid for, hasn't had any issues, I like some of the features that are no longer available, so I'd rather stay in it. SRT pumpkins perhaps? Any gear heads have any ideas as to cost and how best to do this? Thanks in advance.

Search on this forum, has been covered a few times. Was looking for a junkyard ram as those 3.92 gears will fit with just a little custom work. C-clamps and minor shaving of the axle shaft. SRT 3.70 gears will fit and taking the whole pumpkin would be ideal exept they use an electric locker in the rear so you would have to either disable it (use as open dif) or try to get it working. I abandoned the idea after the wifey gave me the go ahead for a JGCSRT8 in 24months. She will keep the d

Thanks........might be easiest to get 14" wheels, ha ha. I was hoping for a straight swap, but....Just looking at the SRT8 and that is one nice vehicle. Too bad I couldn't tow with the Hellcat because that is one fast beast.
