* My point of this thread is going from 3.55's to 3.92's.
Trying to find info about this topic hasn't been very fruitful. I found one thread that's kinda close to what I'm looking for but it wasn't too helpful since the OP had a 2014 Ram and mines a 2012 so there was some discrepancy with what front differentials could be used. I'm asking about what do I need to be looking for or foretold about swapping a 3.92 front differential into my truck, donor truck would be a 2012 as well. Is it was easy as pulling out the CV axles and unbolting the driveshaft and differential housing? The rear axle is self explanatory and that won't be an issue swapping.
Regearing is expensive enough the way it is and I had a bad encounter last time I regeared and 4,500 miles later I had to get a new ring and pinion because the guy didn't set them right. So hence why I'm just gunna swap differentials instead. If anyone has had experience with this or can add some info for me I'd very much appreciate it! I don't have a lot of garage room at my new place so the more I know the less hassle and easier it'll be to swap.
