    Ram 1500 IFS front gear swap?

    Has anyone changed the gears in the front end of say a '04? Wondering if I really need to use a spreader on housing to help get front diff out. Trying to get last few things I need to swap front and rear gears out.

    How is brg preload performed?

    Sounds like with shims against the housing.

    If so, then I would recommend a spreader.
