Yukon Gear High Performance Gear Set For Ford 8.8in in a 5.71 Ratio

If you're looking to change your differential gearing, this Yukon Gear & Axle high-performance ring and pinion set is built to handle the demands of increased horsepower and larger tires. It's designed for the standard rotation Ford 8.8-inch differential, a common setup in many Ford vehicles like the Bronco, F-150, and Explorer. This set features a 5.71 ratio, which is a significant change from stock and is ideal for applications where you need more torque for off-roading, towing, or simply to compensate for larger tires that have reduced your effective gear ratio.

Yukon engineers put a lot of thought into these 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 longevity, especially under high torque conditions or during long races. The fitment is designed to OEM specifications, meaning it should integrate well into your existing differential 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.

Keep in mind that installing a new ring and pinion set is a complex job that requires specialized tools and knowledge. You'll also need to ensure you have the correct cross pin for your differential, as this set requires a notched X-pin. It's a job best left to experienced mechanics or differential specialists to ensure proper setup and backlash for optimal performance and durability.
