Default Could someone link me to a 4.56 gear kit?

I really don't have much experience with this, I don't know what to look for. I've got an 04 2WD RC Hemi Ram, and I don't like the 3.55 gears I currently have. Could someone please give me a direct link to a kit? Thanks in advance.

this is for the 9.25 rear end (which you should have). Confirm the rear end by looking at the tag that is wrapped around the axle tube just before where it meets the right rear wheel.

you will also need the master install kit

Or you could just go to whatever shop is installing this for you and ask them to get it, they probably buy them all the time.

also worth pointing out that if you do in fact have the 3.55 (it'll be on the tag), jumping up to 4.10 might be all you want to do if you don't have bigger tires and don't tow/haul a lot.

I went from 3.55 to 4.56 . It was the greatest mod yet.

I love mine!!! I went from the 3.92's to the 4.56 and it is by far one of the best mods I have done to date.

The reason they help me so much is the bigger tires. I got 35's and I feel like I have more power than I had before. I installed my lift, tires, and gears all at once. So I went from a sluggish truck with 33's to a truck that felt pretty peppy with 35's.

yea with 35s 4.56 is pretty much a must. but if ur sticking with stock tires, then 4.10 might be the way to go. or if you do mainly highway without towing, 4.10.

if you're more in the city, or haul a lot, 4.56
