Revolution Gear & Axle 05-15 Toyota Tacoma 8in Rear w/Locker 4.56 Ratio Gear Package

This package from Revolution Gear & Axle includes everything you need to change the gear ratio in your 8-inch rear differential, specifically for Toyota Tacomas equipped with a locker and manufactured between 2005 and 2015. You'll receive the ring and pinion gears, along with a complete installation kit. This kit contains all the necessary bearings, seals, and hardware to ensure a solid rebuild. Changing your gear ratio to 4.56 is a popular modification for Tacomas, especially those running larger tires or used for off-roading, as it helps bring your engine's RPMs back into a more efficient range.

Revolution Gear & Axle is known for putting together well-built packages that simplify the process of upgrading your drivetrain. This set uses a 4.56 ratio, which is a significant change from the stock gearing. For example, if your Tacoma came with 3.73 gears, the 4.56 ratio will provide more torque to the wheels. This is particularly beneficial when you need extra pulling power, like when climbing steep trails or accelerating from a stop with larger tires. The included installation kit is comprehensive, featuring quality bearings and seals that are crucial for a smooth and quiet operation after the installation. Proper installation is key, and having all the right pieces in one box saves you time and potential headaches sourcing individual components.

When undertaking a gear change like this, it's important to have the right tools and knowledge, or to have a trusted mechanic perform the work. The differential will need to be opened, the old gears removed, and the new gears and bearings installed and properly set up. This includes setting the correct backlash and pinion depth, which are critical for the longevity and performance of the new gears. This package is designed to give you the components needed for a successful gear ratio change, making your Tacoma more capable for its intended use.
