What gears should I get???

Im looking into what wheels and tires to get for my 06 Taco with a 6" lift and am stuck between a 33" and a 35". im not sure anything about changing gears and was wondering what you guys thought? I found a guy on the forums selling 4.10 and was wonder if I should get those or if I need 4.56 or what?? HELP!

 

answer your first question on what tires you want then decide what gears. to get a close to stock power ratio 4.10's are good for 33's and 4.56's are good for 35's

 

would the 4.10's work for 35's or would I not notice enough of a difference for it to be worth it?

 

IMO i would get 4.56's and get a little bit of a gain in power to the wheels. the 4.10s will work and alot of people say they are ok with 35's. keep in mind you have 3.73 gears stock and 4.10 is a little better. i have 35's and with stock gears it was super sluggish i dont think i would be happy with 4.10's either.

 

I've been thinking about getting 4.56 gears for sometime now. Where should I go and what brand should I be looking at?

 

second that ^^ also how much will it cost to just buy the gears minus install. Got a guy that will install for $200 =)

 

I got 4:56 and think they are great for 33's maybe 35's still a good range for either. Got them from pro-gear san diego. Very smart friendly ppl there. Highly recommended.

 

Assuming you aren't doing alot of Offroading, I'd go 4:10 with 33's or 35's as this will put you at good RPM for highway crusing and give you stock power or close to for take off/city driving. As well as moderate MPGs. 4:56 are too low I find for day to day driving.

 

I have 4.88's for 35's and I think that it is a good combo. I was getting 15.5 mpg with stock gears and 33's. I am now getting 17 mpg and 35's. If I had 4.56, I bet I could get just a little bit better but I like the 4.88's.

 

Dont waste your money on 4:10's. For anything 31's size and higher 4:56 at a minimum!

 

thanks for your help guys!

 

good luck in finding 4.10's. rare for anyone to have any in stock
