Revolution Gear & Axle 83-92 Ford F-150 F8.8in-Dana 44 Reverse Cut IFS 4.56 Ratio Gear Package

If you're upgrading your 1983-1992 Ford F-150's drivetrain for larger tires or more demanding off-road use, changing the differential gear ratio is a critical step. This Revolution Gear & Axle package is specifically designed for the F8.8in-Dana 44 Reverse Cut Independent Front Suspension (IFS) found in those trucks, and it comes with a 4.56 ratio. This ratio is a popular choice for those running 35-inch to 37-inch tires, helping to bring your engine's RPMs back into an optimal range for power and efficiency on the trail or highway.

This kit includes all the necessary components for a proper differential gear installation. You'll find the ring and pinion gears, which are precision-cut for smooth operation and durability. Revolution Gear & Axle is known for well-built drivetrain components, and this package reflects that. The 4.56 ratio is a significant change from stock, so it's important to pair it with appropriately sized tires to maximize its benefit. This gear set is designed to work with the reverse cut IFS differential, ensuring proper meshing and load distribution.

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 installation. Proper setup, including backlash and pattern checking, is crucial for the longevity of the gears. This package aims to provide the core components needed for that upgrade, allowing you to tailor your truck's gearing to your specific driving needs and tire size.
