First off young newb here, Ive got a 2004 commonrail with a sh!tty 48re auto tranny. Now i pull cattle, horses, 4 wheelers, tractors and hay and couchs and yea all that good stuff but ive really had my interest peaked by a few swaps ive seen lately using 7 speed spicers so could someone shoot out some advice of going with a spicer or eaton over a nv5600 or g56
 
I personally wouldn't swap a g56 in, but they do shift nice. If its a 2wd the Spicer would be cool but IMO the 5600 would be a better swap, the parts are already built to do it so you wouldn't have a truck down for weeks while you can custom parts. If its 4x4 I'd definitely stay with factory Dodge options.

I wouldn't call the 48re sh!tty, when built right they have been known to hold 1000+ hp with little problem at all. Now granted, in stock form, they will toss their cookies pretty quick when you start adding power.
 
the 48re is on tc number 2, i just need something with more gear options for pulling. Cant seem to find anyone producing a kit (everything you need) to swap in a 5600.

I second this. I might also add that a lot builders have their favorite trans that they like for their own reason.
 
Give us a call. We can take care of the 48re for you. You'll be much happier with it than the 6 speed.
