Yukon Gear Toyota 8in 30 Spline Rear Dropout Assembly w/ Dura Grip LSD

If you're looking to upgrade the rear differential in your 1979-1995 Toyota Pickup or 4Runner, this fully assembled dropout from Yukon Gear & Axle is a solid choice. This unit replaces your entire third member assembly, making installation much simpler than rebuilding your existing differential. It comes ready to go, with the gears already set to the correct specifications for backlash and shim settings, so you can spend less time in the garage and more time on the trail or road.

What really sets this dropout apart is the inclusion of Yukon's Dura Grip limited slip differential. This clutch-type LSD helps send more torque to the wheel with better traction, improving performance both on and off-road, especially in slippery conditions or during spirited driving. The housing itself is constructed from nodular iron, which is stronger than standard cast iron. This increased rigidity helps reduce deflection under load, ensuring consistent gear contact for a longer service life and reliable operation. The assembly also includes the necessary yoke and is set up with a 4.11 gear ratio, which is a popular choice for many Toyota trucks and SUVs, offering a good balance for various tire sizes and driving styles.

Because this is a complete third member assembly, installation involves removing your old unit, bolting this new one into the housing, attaching the differential cover, and adding your gear oil. It's designed to fit the Toyota 8-inch rear differential with 30 spline axles. This is a significant upgrade for anyone looking for improved traction and a more robust differential setup without the hassle of a full internal rebuild.
