Revolution Gear & Axle 89-98 1-Ton Swap GM 14-Bolt Dana 60 Reverse Cut Thick 4.56 Ratio Gear Package

This package from Revolution Gear & Axle includes everything you need to install a reverse-cut Dana 60 differential into your 1-ton GM truck, specifically for models from 1989-1998. It features a thick ring gear designed for the GM 14-bolt housing and a 4.56 gear ratio, which is a popular choice for balancing highway drivability with off-road capability. This setup is ideal for those looking to upgrade their drivetrain for larger tires or heavier loads.

The gears themselves are manufactured with a focus on durability and precise tooth engagement. The reverse-cut design is crucial for the Dana 60 front axle application, ensuring proper load carrying and strength when used in a forward-rotation differential housing. Revolution Gear & Axle uses advanced heat-treating processes to harden the gear teeth, which helps them withstand the stresses of daily driving and more demanding off-road use. This package is designed to be a complete solution, simplifying the installation process for a significant drivetrain upgrade.

When undertaking a 1-ton swap like this, it's important to have all the necessary components for a successful installation. This gear package is a key part of that process, providing the core differential gearing. Ensure you have the appropriate installation kit, which typically includes bearings, seals, shims, and a crush sleeve, as these are not part of this specific gear package. Proper setup and backlash adjustment are critical for the longevity of these gears, so refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions or consult a professional mechanic.
