    I have a 2005 2.7L 5 speed regular cab Prerunner that I'd like to add a TrueTrac and gear to 4.56 while I'm at it. Can anyone confirm what rear end I have so that I buy the right one? I'm thinking it's an 8.4". Non-locker, of course.

    Who do you guys recommend going with? So far I've looked into East Coast and Filthy Motorsports.

    Cheers!

    If you aren't able to do gears yourself, best bet is to just buy a loaded diff already from a reputable place like Marlin Crawler or Randy's Ring and Pinion. You can get the individual pieces from them as well.

    Right, that's what I was trying to get at.

    I'm running 265/75/16 and I don't plan on going bigger. 4.56 or 4.88? What are you thinking?
