Yukon Gear High Performance Ring & Pinion Gear Set 2005+ Toyota Tacoma 8in - 4.88 Ratio 29 Spline

When you're looking to optimize your Toyota 4Runner's performance, especially after adding larger tires or increasing horsepower, changing the ring and pinion gear ratio is a key step. This Yukon Gear & Axle set features a 4.88 ratio, which is designed to bring your engine's RPMs back into a more efficient range for highway driving or to improve acceleration off-road. It's built for the Toyota 8-inch front differential and specifically for reverse rotation applications, meaning it's intended for the front axle setup.

Yukon engineers put these gear sets through advanced heat-treating processes and rigorous quality testing. This attention to detail ensures the gear's structure and surface finish meet strict specifications, aiming for reliable performance. The 29-spline pinion is a solid connection point, and the 4.88 ratio is a popular choice for those running 35-inch or larger tires, helping to compensate for the increased rotational diameter and restore lost torque. This set is designed to fit with carriers that are rated for 3.91 ratios and numerically higher.

This ring and pinion set is part of Yukon's high-performance line, aiming to provide a durable and effective upgrade for your drivetrain. It's important to note that a professional installation is highly recommended for ring and pinion gears, as proper setup and backlash are critical for longevity and performance. Yukon also backs this set with their Y.E.S. Plan, a lifetime, no-questions-asked protection plan.
