Are 3.42 gears in the near future???

Just looked at the dodge.com site, and built a 2008 Mega cab for the heck of it, and it is showing a 3.42 gear ratio for the AAM 11.5 axle. Am I seeing things, or is this going to be really available? It would be nice to get a part number for them, called the dealer today, and they don't have info on the 08 trucks yet, but they say soon. Anyhow, has anyone else seen that yet? There may be some hope for the taller gear yet, and gain a little more mileage, with less expense than a gear vendors......
