Default 2015 Ram 2500 Rear Axle Re-Gear

I have been looking and looking for gear swap info online and can not find any info. I called Gear Squad which is part of 4 Wheel Parts and got Part numbers that looked right. I then took my truck to 4 Wheel Parts and gave them the part numbers and info and left my truck there to get re-geared. As of right now its been a day and a half and they refuse to do the gears until they are certain the gears will match up in the rear. They said the front is no problem its the 11.5 AAM in the rear that is the problem. I am not very familiar with gears and thought a shop would be better but it seems since i actually care that i know more than they do at this point. So i am probably getting a refund for my parts and labor and will be purchasing the parts and doing it myself. At least i care enough to drop the pan and have a look at whats in there unlike 4 wheel parts. Any info would be alot of help.

Just my 2 cents. I would take it to a dedicated gear shop. They will be able to help you out better than a do it all shop. I know there are some shops Houston and Austin. Area that have very good reputation. Let me know what you find. I am looking for a reputable shop to do head studs.

Yea im in the Austin Area and I have talked to In Land Truck which is a highly recommended business but they want a lot more to do the job than i was willing to spend. Im gonna talk to 4 Wheel Parts after work and try to figure what to do from there. I called them at 11 but haven't heard from them since, the guy up there said he called AAM and left a message yesterday but hasnt heard from them or tryed to call them because he was busy. I don't like knowing my trucks been sitting there for almost 2 days outside untouched.

I know for a fact Yukon YG C11.5 fit 2014 and up 11.5 rears. Should be available in 3.42, 3.73, 4.11 and 4.56. Call Randys Ring and Pinion for any and all makes that will work. Their phone operators know more than 4 Wheel Parts techs do, LOL...
