    Hey guys I know there's a ton of threads on re-gearing, but I was wondering if I could get some advice on what to go with. I'm pretty sure I have a good idea but I dont know if it is the right thing. I will attach a pic, but my truck has 33" tires with 20"x12 fuel rims, also a 6" Pro Comp full suspension lift kit. I plan on running 35's as soon as these wear out (soon). I believe the 4.56 is the closest to the 4.46 that I should be running. What do you guys think?? IMG_0725.jpg

    4.88's are your only option as stated above. I'm running 33's and went with 4.88's as well.

    I was talking to the guy at 4WP and he recommends going with 4.56 instead of the 4.88s because I do go over 60 quite a bit.

    Not possible. People say that when they don't know the 3rd gen.

    Besides with double overdrive gears, Truck runs fine at 70+

    Look on their website and let me know what gears they have for the 8" reverse clamshell and 8.75" rear.

    Because there is only one gear company manufacturing gears and they only make 4.88.

    Nitro gear is the only supplier.

    Trust us homie, this is what we do.

    http://www.nitro-gear.com/GPTACO2016-4-88-8-75-p/gptaco2016-4.88-8.75.htm

    Only option.

    The 2nd gen tacoma has 4.56 and even 5.29. Not the the 3rd gen.

    Yukon now makes them too but still only offer 488's. Unfortunately for you your 4WP rep doesn't know anything. Since you have a TRD OR you have a 8.75 rear diff.
