What kind?
Where to get?
Install difficulty? I can't imagine it could be that bad.
Thanks,
Andrew

XS TORQ

I bought a complete rear end, and (after some time) sold my old one. Broke even. Mine was done by Unitrax. I have done some rear gear changes before (not in a Viper) and it is not that hard. With all the torque of a Viper, if you don't get the gears set up perfectly, you may very well be doing it over again, and a new set of gears... or new rear end... after you ruin them.

Andrew, call me for some prices.

Sounds like my best bet is a complete rear from Mopar. Can't be that hard to switch rears if I want to do it myself.

Andrew,
this is one mod i would head into with caution.
a few guys have had problems. noise in the rear, damaged gears, headache etc.
if you insist go with the wizard or unitrax.
myself i would rather spend the cash on other mods. like save for the SC then you dont need
the gear swap.

Always look into the future of your car.If you plan on S.C or extensive mods then a gear swap now will just turn into traction issues down the road.If you do not plan on any big mods then a swap is good for a great seat of the pants feel

Scott nailed it..I had 4.10's installed on my C5 when i had Heads and Cam and I was VERY happy with the results..But after I installed my SC i regreted the Gear change. I was spinning my tires all the way into 4th Gear under hard boost.
Think longterm and stick with the game plan , if you have no plans to do any heavy mods to your Motor then by all means a gear swap is one of the best bangs for the buck .
