gears. get a set of 4.56s. at least 4.10s. contrary to what you may think, they will actually help your in town gas mileage, and mileage while towing. not to mention they will really wake the truck up. gears will be the single most beneficial mod for towing, guaranteed.

What am I looking at for price and where should a guy get them from? I live in western Canada btw. Do you buy the crown and pinion as a set or swap out a whole diff? Am i wrong to think Dodge warranty will be void afterwards ?

the down side of gears is the price. the parts aren't too pricey, but its the labor charge that gets you. being 4wd, you are gonna be looking at about a grand or more for parts and install. you will be replacing the ring and pinion, and possibly the bearings with an install/rebuild kit. i can tell you from experience, as can TONS of other guys on here, it is WELL worth the cost.
