Yukon Gear Ring & Pinion Gear Kit Package Front & Rear with Install Kits - Toyota 8.2/8in. IFS

This Yukon Gear & Axle package bundles everything you need to re-gear both your front and rear differentials for your Toyota 4Runner or FJ Cruiser. You get the ring and pinion gears themselves, plus all the necessary installation hardware like ring gear bolts, crush sleeves, pinion nuts and washers, axle studs, and thrust washers. This kit is specifically designed for Toyota 8.2/8-inch IFS differentials that came with a factory locker, and it upgrades both the front and rear axles to a 4.56 gear ratio. It's important to note that this kit is for the 4-series front carrier case and a rear 12-bolt ring gear with a 30-spline pinion.

Choosing the right gear ratio is crucial for how your vehicle performs, especially if you've changed tire size or are looking for improved on-road manners or off-road capability. The 4.56 ratio is a popular choice for those running larger tires, as it helps bring your engine's RPMs back into a more efficient range at cruising speeds, improving acceleration and reducing strain on the drivetrain. Yukon Gear & Axle is known for well-built drivetrain components, and this kit aims to simplify the process of a gear change by including all the small parts you'll need, which can often be overlooked or difficult to source individually.

When undertaking a gear change, it's essential to have the correct tools and a solid understanding of the setup process. Proper gear pattern and backlash setup is critical for the longevity of your new gears. If you're unsure about the installation, it's always best to consult a professional mechanic or refer to the manufacturer's detailed installation instructions to ensure the job is done right.
