I have a long time before I put new gears in (as in I need to save up the money) But I'm planning on going to 4.56s. I already have a good idea on prices from searching around the forum but I want to know if anyone knows of a good shop that can do it in either the Ft. Lauderdale or Tampa area? (The only real highway driving I do is between these two places)

You can request a build sheet from your dealership per your VIN.
Since you are 4WD you have 9.25" Corp Rear and 8.25" IFS front differential

I upgraded from 3.55's with an open diff to Motive 3.92's and an Auburn limited slip. Getting rid of that peg leg was the best mod I have ever done. Gives my 2wd Ram traction for days.

^^ couldn't imagine driving a truck with a peg leg for what I use it for. Now believe it or not I can actually park on the grass in my sig even when it's wet! LOL

I am needing some help identifying my options. I have an 03 1500 with the 5.7hemi 4wd QC. I noticed as I was changing the rear diff. fluid saturday that I have some bad wear on the LSD. I am pretty sure it is the factory LSD with 3.92's and need to know what I can upgrade away from the OEM replacement. I don't have tons of cash either.

Auburn or dtt are popular differential options. For 4wd you can have 4.10 or 4.56 gear ratios.

Have been hoping for years that someone would make 4.30s for our trucks. So far not available

If you are running 3.21 gears with 35's,410 or 456 is your way to go. You might even get a little better milage by making this change, since you will no longer be lugging the engine
