    I'm looking for shop recommendations that will swap both rear axles out for different ones. Really looking for one that does all the work like finding the correct set I'm looking for. Anyone have any recommendations? I mainly run the Midwest from Texas to WI and east of 35

    Are you looking to upgrade your weight capacity or just looking to swap in newer axles?

    Just swapping to change gear ratios as the ratio I want won't fit in current housing.

    What’s your current gear ratio, and what’s the proposed gear ratio?

    What transmission do you have in your truck?

    Are you planning on putting a 4 speed brownie behind it to get rolling or do you just want to cruise comfortably in triple digits?

    Have you done a test and figured out what RPM range you are gonna be with that set up? Better be sure you do not lug that engine as it is not a downsped Engine. Match RPM with TQ and HP Curve of that engine.
