I need to do my gears, 4.56. Just dont know what companies gears to go with. Anyone have and good and bad stories. Have an 03 4wd 6 inch lift 315/71-16.

8.8 front dont know the splines

9.75 rear I know its 34 splines but do I have short or long gears? I ask because precision gear asked.

 

I have Ford Racing Performance Parts. Opinions vary. But I figure that Ford parts going into a Ford can't be all that bad.

Check w/ Randy's Ring & Pinion or AmericanTrucks.com. They should be able to steer you in the right direction.

 

yukon gears are best IMO, amount of splines has nothing to do with the gears i dont even know why they ask, you need reverse cut gears for the front 8.8, as for short or long gears i have never head that term before lol

 

I had precision gears with no issues.

 

I have the Yukon 4.10s in the rear (2wd), got them from East Coast Gear Supply here in Durham, NC. No complaints.

 

Yukon and Precision are excellent brands. Check out Randys ring and pinion online

 

wow randy's is expensive. 390 for the rear, 4 wheel parts wanted 290 for short and 333 for long whatever that is???

 

I got my Yukons front and rear from there for a little over 600 at the time. Granted that was over a year ago..

 

Been running Yukon 4.56's for over a year now with zero issues. Would recommend them to anyone.

 

Yeah i just looked at them and it came out too 609.90 for the front and rear for 4.88s . Now another question is how hard is it to install them yourself?

 

Yeah i saw that and it doesnt make any sense can anyone explain more on this ?
