So it was my way to change a gears to 4.56
As there is nothing special about rear axle(differential+gears+master rebuild kit),
will give you several pictures of front axle install
As you might know it is a headache with install of 2010 front axle(Chrysler 8" IFS) in later models due to different brackets.
So first of all you need that bracket from 2010
As you might see those are completely different with different angles for the front axle
You need to cut off the small corner of the back lower part to avoid contact with aluminium pipes
I ordered a full kit for the front axle relocation from BDS for 2010 to match new bracket.
Also ordered a front drive shaft spacer that is also part of 6" lift kit from BDS to match 2010 driveshaft
Actuator is absolutely the same, so need only a wire set from BDS lift kit for 2010
As for the $$$...
Rear:
Auburn HP Differential $620
Gears $240
Master kit $120
Differential cover Mag Hytec $240
Oil and labor $720
TOTAL $1940
Front:
2010 8" front axle + driveshaft + bracket - $560
G2 Axle & Gear 2-2027-456 G-2 Performance Ring and Pinion Set - $286
But I've decided to make it all new, so decided to change all internals also:
Mopar 5206 9707, Axle Shaft Bearing - $38
Mopar 5211 4384AB, Axle Shaft Bearing - $36
Mopar 5211 4377AC, Axle Shaft Seal - $23
52114382AE Suspension Axle Shaft - $151
52069887AE Shaft Axle Intermedi - $78
52069706AB Rear Axle Shaft Seal - $13
BDS 6'' front relocation brackets set for RAM1500 2010. $260
Oil and labor $720
TOTAL $2165 for the front
So in the end it is around 4K for the swap
