Yukon Gear High Performance Gear Set For Dana 60 in a 5.38 Ratio / Thick

When you're looking to change your vehicle's gearing, this Yukon Gear & Axle high-performance ring and pinion set is designed for the Dana 60 axle. You get the ring gear, pinion gear, and all the necessary hardware to complete the installation. This set features a 5.38 ratio, which is a thick gear designed for use with carriers that originally came with 4.10 gearing or numerically lower. This ratio is often chosen when upgrading to significantly larger tires, helping to bring your engine's RPMs back into a more efficient range for highway cruising and improving acceleration.

Yukon engineers put a lot of thought into these gear sets. They use high-grade steel for both the ring and pinion gears, and the tooth surface finish is specifically designed to reduce friction and heat. This is crucial for high-torque situations and long races where heat can be a major factor in gear longevity. The fitment is designed to OEM specifications, meaning it should install cleanly into your Dana 60 axle housing. Yukon also backs these sets with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects, and they offer an optional Y.E.S. Plan for lifetime coverage.

This gear set fits a wide range of vehicles, including many Chevrolet C/K series trucks and vans from the 60s and 70s, as well as some Dodge and Ford trucks and vans. It's important to confirm that your vehicle is equipped with a Dana 60 axle and that this thick gear set is compatible with your specific carrier case. Changing gear ratios is a significant modification, so it's often recommended to replace both front and rear axle gears to maintain proper 4WD operation.
