4.56's for sure, even if you are staying close to stock tire diameter with those 22" rims. With the Hemi, you might be able to get away with 4.10s, but the 4.7 will benefit most by going to the 4.56 gears...

4.56's FTW. I just slapped them into my 3.7L v6 truck and noticed a huge difference. Gas might get consumed a bit more so you may or may not lose 1-2 mpg butI found it definetely worth it.

'nother vote for 4.56's from me....After going that way it'd be hard for me to have another truck without them (unless it were a diesel, then 4.56 may be a bit too much gear)....For the time and expense in a big heavy truck, with some big 'ole wheels like 22's why even bother with the 4.10's....They'll help your engine and drivetrain not work as hard at pushin' that heavy truck around, and if you stay out of the throttle you'll probably gain a bit in the mileage department too...

I paid about $1200 for the gears,bearing kitsand install. Being a 4x4 you'll have to change both front and rear gears. I had mine installed by a 4x4 shop here in town. Even if you dont use the 4wd very often, you still cant have the front and back turning at different speeds.

Igot mine frommoesperformance.com They have GREAT customer service. I thought the shop could get the install kits so first I only bought the gears from them. I found out later that I would have to get the install kits too. I called them back, and they had the kits to me in 2 days, even knocked off a little on the shipping since I bought the gears there too. They even called the day the gears were scheduled to deliver just to make sure they got there in time. I will definately shop there again.
