so i have an 04 dodge ram 1500 4wd 5.7l, small lift and 35 inch tires. what happened is in the title, i found and installed some yukon 4.88 gears and lock rite locker in my rear chrysler 9.25 axle, i did a preliminary search for the front for the future so i can get my 4wd back eventually and found this set ( ) i never checked to confirm i could actually get this set anywhere though and now im stuck with a FORBIDDEN STICK in my truck that if touched wrong will explode my drivetrain. i love the acceleration i get from the 4.88s so i dont want to change them but im open to any other suggestions, maybe if anyone has a source for chrysler 8" ifs 4.88 gears, thatd be great, some of my ideas have been as crazy as putting in common 4.56 gears and 33" tires in the front (wack). if my math is right than this should bring my input to travel distance incredibly close from front to back (like putting a 4.83 gear in the front to be precise). anyway this is my first thread, i made this account for it and i hope i get some decent feedback

 

Seems the ring gear size changed in 06? Went from 8.0 to 9.25, 4.88's are actually available for the 06..... but, not for the older trucks. Wonder if you are going to have to change the front differential, to get the gears you want...... Only other alternative I see, is swapping the rear gears again.
