@ Olyler - we see that happen from time to time.

@ the OP - with 37s you certainly want 456s. I would sell the Edge and get a Superchips 3865

I agree with the 4:56's but you highway gas mileage will suffer. Power wagons run 4:56's and they seem to usually get 11 to 13 mpg's highway.

With the 37's he's gonna need the umph and the low end that the 4.56s supply. The power wagon comes stock with 33s. With 37s the EFFECTIVE RATIO is gonna fall somewhere between 3.92 and 4.10s I would guess without actually taking the time to do the math, so the MPGs on the highway (which aren't gonna be great with a Mega Hemi on 37s anyway) really won't suffer much, if at all...

Superchips will give you a little more pep, and make your trans shift better. If you add the optional advance trans tuning, you can adjust all of your shift point as well as torque management and your trans will feel MUCH better. Look in the SC sticky for all of the info you want on the SC.

Gears will be about:
9.25" front $260
10.5" rear $330

If you do not have a factory limited slip in the rear, I would add one while you are in there. OEM 10.5 LSD is about $540, I am not sure what aftermarket ones are available for the 10.5

Those prices were from a place I would not recommend anymore because of very slow shipping and very poor customer service.
