WME Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Now might be a good time to find a rear end with a more useful ratio. Like a 4.56 for a v-6 or a 4.88 for 4 cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 It's way cheaper to install a used differential than regear your old one. Gear installation requires quite a bit of expertise to adjust properly. I seem to remember a few people here who had problems even when they used a shop to do it. For the gear ratios WME suggested you would be looking for a diff from a 4x4, 4 runner or truck Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
