PLEASE use punctuation!! It make out deciphering of your post SO MUCH easier!

What gears do do you have now in the front diff and what gears are in the SRT rear diff because they BETTER match up or no 4wd for you. And being you are in WA, I am assuming you need your 4wd.

I agree with punctuation as well. But come on Weed, what's up with that sentence?? I'm just kiddin' ya bro. I know you meant it makes deciphering of your post so much easier.

Yes OP, like Weed said the gears have to match in the front and rear ends.

The plugs should be the same. The brake will make no difference. A lot of guys like the bigger brakes for more surface area to help stop better/faster. As long as your from diff has 456 you will be fine.

I maybe wrong but when talking to 03ramit1 who did the change on his 2WD, he had to have a custom drive shaft made. I believe it has to be shorter.

There is a 4:10 SRT10 rear end now on eBay for about a $1000.

If you do it post up a lot of pics, I wanna see how it turns out. The rear SRT brakes are damn near the same as our regular front brakes, at least as far as rotor's and calipers go. The fronts you will need at least a 20" rim I believe if you plan on taking it that far.

Will standard Ram 1500 brakes bolt up to the SRT10? The eBay axle doesn't have brakes.

I think they might, but don't hold me to that as I don't have an SRT to be sure. I know I think it was Hemi Greg that posted up the fronts were similar to SRT rears so it's possible I guess. This link might have some info, it says that aftermarket brakes can be bolted up to it.
