This is cool, thank you for posting. The 3.08 gears in my '13 are starting to annoy me, so I'm thinking a gear change or axle swap may be in the future sometime. A swap from one of these may be a good option, especially like the idea of 3.73 gears.

So is it a direct bolt in? No need to change driveshaft length or anything else? And these can be found in 1/2T trucks with 6 bolt hubs? Would the front axle from the same truck work for a swap too?

EDIT: I read a couple of related threads which answered most of my questions above. It sounds like the easiest thing to do in the front for 4WDs is to just re-gear if changing ratios?

Yes, direct swap and no need to change brakes, cables, driveshaft length, etc. For the wagons, you'd have to do a ring and pinion change to get 3.73 gears. 3.42s are common, the 4.10 equipped axles not so common as time passes on.

Going to put 3.73 in mine after vacation. Bought an IFS with 3.73s to save time and money on doing the front and am installing 3.73 gears into one of my 9.5" axles.
