What is a ring and pinion gear set and why change the ratio?

A ring and pinion gear set is the final drive ratio in your differential. Changing the ratio, like to 4.11 from a stock ratio, alters the relationship between your engine speed and wheel speed. A numerically higher ratio like 4.11 generally improves acceleration and towing power, while a numerically lower ratio improves highway fuel economy.
