Rear end differential change

Is it possible to change the gearing in my 08 F350 dually from 4:10 to 3:73?

Yup. It's not an uncommon thing to change gears, but it's not something most would attempt to do themselves because of the precision required. Most shops will charge between $1-2,000 to do that kind of job.

I have a srw complete front and rear axle with 3.73 I'd gladly trade you. Who needs the dual rear wheels anyways lol

The fifth wheel comes in at 15.5k loaded. The dually provides a significant amount of "peace of mind" when traveling! I would probably never recoup the expense of the conversion. Oh well!
