1934 Packard Limousine rear axle

My 1934 limousine has a very noisy rear axle. I understand it needs a new crown wheel and pinion. I could get them made here in the UK but wondered if they are available in the US? Also I’ve read somewhere it may be a good time to alter the drive ratio so the engine revs less. The engine would certainly take it as it will accelerate from walking speed up a hill in top gear. I think it would benefit as travelling over 50 mph sounds let’s say exciting!
