Revolution Gear & Axle 16-23 Toyota Tacoma 8in Rear w/Locker 4.88 Ratio Gear Package

This 4.88 ratio gear package from Revolution Gear & Axle is built with precision-machined ring and pinion gears, designed specifically for the 8-inch rear differential found in 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma models equipped with a factory locker. Choosing the right gear ratio is crucial for optimizing your truck's performance, especially if you've made modifications like larger tires or a lift kit. A 4.88 ratio is a popular choice for Tacomas running 33-inch to 35-inch tires, as it helps bring your engine's RPMs back into their optimal power band, improving acceleration and overall drivability on and off-road.

Revolution Gear & Axle is known for its well-built drivetrain components. This package includes the essential ring and pinion gears, manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure smooth operation and durability. Proper installation is key to unlocking the full potential of these gears, and it's recommended to have them installed by a qualified technician who can perform the necessary setup, including backlash and pinion depth adjustments. This ensures a quiet-running, long-lasting differential that can handle the demands of daily driving and more adventurous excursions.

When considering a gear change, it's important to ensure all components are installed correctly. This package focuses on the critical ring and pinion set. For a complete differential rebuild, you'll typically need additional installation components such as bearings, seals, and a master installation kit, which are sold separately. This gear set is a solid option for Tacoma owners looking to re-gear their rear differential to better suit their driving needs and tire size.
