Finally have funds together to to start my gear swap. Its going to cost more than normal I know just need to know what I'll need since mine is lifted I'm sure it'll change some stuff. I'm going 4.56 gears it's a 8 speed truck. So I know I'll be the pre 12 dif if I remember right and the axels what else. I'm sure the lift brackets may also be different?

Yup just go thru my thread all the info in in there. https://www.ramforum.com/threads/2008-to-2012-front-diff-swap-4-56-gears.173962/

Also here is another tread on it here. https://www.ramforum.com/threads/regearing-3-92-to-4-56-2014-ram1500-4wd.92619/

Only issues will be sourcing the IFS 8.0 shim kits. Ill be selling mine on here once I take the ones I need out of them.

I regret not just buying this kit instead of wasting my time trying to source everything individually.
