Description
Keep Trucking Along. Your rig doesn't exist for decoration. When you put your foot to the gas pedal, you expect your truck to move along. For that to happen, however, many parts have to do their jobs. One of those parts is your rear axle, which makes rotational force to spin your tires. Having a strong, upgraded axle like this 5-Lug Rear Axle can make a difference in your rig's ability to power forward.
High Quality Axle. Since axles play such an essential role in your rig's function, it's important to select a high quality option. This particular axle is made out of strong, durable 1541 Manganese. It is engineered to meet high standards and is heat treated to increase its durability and longevity.
Installation. A 31 spline 34" long axle, this part is strong and performs well. It has been tested for quality control to ensure it's up to par. As a direct fit replacement with a 5x5 bolt pattern, it installs without modification in RAM models equipped with the 9.25" 12-bolt rear differential.
Application. Your 2002 to 2005 Dodge RAM will benefit from this 5-Lug Rear Axle replacement. It is designed for models equipped with the 9.25 in. (12 Bolt) Rear Differential.

Review shared from EXCEL from Richmond 9.25-Inch Rear Axle Ring and Pinion Gear Kit; 4.56 Gear Ratio (02-10 RAM 1500)
2003 SLT - KaiB
EXCEL 4.56 gears 2003 ram 1500 4.7
I wasn’t sure if I should go with 3.92 or 4.10 gears but I finally decided to get the 4.56s, and I’m glad I did. Everyone said that with 4.56 you will lose mpgs but after driving around with them my mpg has gone from 13.9 to 15, when I’m not stomping on it ??. The torque feels great and I absolutely love them, would recommend to anyone who wants to swap out their gears.
