4.56 or 4.88 gears?

I can do 80 (according to GPS) and I am right under 3k rpms on 315/70/17s

 

4:88's with 35s..... Cause who wants stock?

 

Soooo I'm super confused about gears for my truck, so I'm a v6 and on 33s with a 6spd Manual I have plans on doing a nice MT suspension set up and possibly going to 35s someday. Really I'm just looking for a little more torque and my truck drives pretty good rpm wise now so I don't want that to change so what would be the right gears for my wants

 

Go 4.56.

The auto's 6th gears is a little shorter than the auto's so RPMS are gonna run a little higher, so IMO 4.88s with 35s you're still gonna be running a bit high on RPMS, but you will get your power back. 4.56 will prob be better MPGs with a good power return as well.

 

Go with 4:56's

 

Excellent thanks for the help that's actually what I was thinking as well

 

I would suggest 4.56 for 35s.

I ran 4.56s with 37s and it would scoot but definitely left me wanting a little more power. Sadly fried that third in baja so I'm swapping in a new tundra 10.5" with stock 4.30 gears

I spy a bolt on DTF bumper

 

Yeah installed the 4.56s and I like it for my style of driving and my trucks setup.

 

are you guys buying assembled 3rd members from east coast gear supply and sending back your cores?

 

Nah local gear shop

 

so just buying the ring and pinion and having it installed? or is there more to it then that..

 

Call a local gear place, usually you need new shims and stuff.

 

Doesn't the full master install kit come with everything? So if you buy those and the gear sets you're only paying for labor?

 

You got yotamasters in Corona. They are the best toyota gear shop in the IE.

 

Central Valley you have Fearless Gear, best shop around, Alec does a fantastic job.

 

sweet good to know ill check them out thanks

 

I have 4:56 gear in 2014 DBC V6 with an automatic and 33" tires I like it better in town but not so much on the interstate. 4:56 gears equal factory if you have 35" tires 4:11 gears equal factory if you have 33" tires. I do 95% of my driving in town at 60 miles per hour or less. on the interstate I run at 75 and turn 3000 rpm.

 

I bought mine assembled 3rd member from east coast gear supply and just swapped them out in my driveway.

 

did u send ur core back to them? i like the idea of being able to just swap it out myself.. the additional cost kinda makes it a lil harder but you do get that back if im not mistakin right?

 

Yeah I sent it back. Yeah there's a core charge that's why it's so expensive. I talked to a local shop and in labor/parts was about the same as a 3rd member after the core charge refund from east coast gear supply. Not saying all shops are the same price, but that's what I based it off of.
