- Factory spray-in bedliner (for the price you can't beat it)
- Limited slip rear axle (comes with an open differential by default)

The Bedliner will have to wait(long story), they are getting back to me on the limited slip seem to think it comes in a package...

You will be getting 3.42 rear ratio with the 6.7l cummins.

 

[moparnut72]

He can order any ratio with the dual rear wheels.

Not with his set up.

Yea. I thought I hit the preview button, as I wanted to go and look at the OP specs again. Then I realized that I posted it.:confused013:
Now, if only we could order the 3.73's in the SRW!

G56 only allows 3.42 and 3.73 have to go with the auto for 4.10 but that's a much debated topic so let's just say for me and what I'm doing the 3.73 is fine....

No worries that's what the edit button is for, Ive posted some bonehead stuff because my fingers work faster than my brain lol...
And you are correct had i gone SRW I can have any gearing I want as long as it's 3.42

I don't see 3.73 being a good option when paired to the g56. My Truck screams for a 7th gear cruising at 70 (1800+ RPM)

 

[oe542bob]

Did you consider the rear air ride?

Yes, waiting on a call to see how that will work with some other aftermarket items...

I found that in my 08, however with the places I tow WV,TN,NC,VA,GA I don't wanna find out the 3.42 doesn't cut it.
I'm hesitant starting with the 3.42 and swapping later.

[oe542bob]

Yea. I would go with the 3.73's. Less stress on the clutch when trying to pull out. As a comparison, my '03 with 3.73's, 6 speed and running 305/65x17's, I'm turning 2000 rpm @ 70 mph. Tires are about 32.6" in diameter I think. If I could get 3.73's & G56 in a Laramie SRW, I'd be ordering one today!

May want to research what you're getting in the snowplow prep package. I ordered it and the only thing that I can see that I got for my money is a skid plate. For only a skid plate there are cheaper ways to go.

I can do that, when I did the build sheet at the dealer 1st one was with items individual then he clicked snow plow prep and saved me money that was the only reason it's on the list...
