    I’m in the process of building up my 2020 Tacoma. 32s have done everything I needed them to do on my previous build (2010 Tacoma) and what I’m running on the 2020. I don’t plan to put an extreme lift on the truck either. I do plan to use this on the highway, in the dirt, in the hills, and towing a lighter weight camper within the next year.

    So... as I look at re-gearing to 4.88, I was talking to a buddy. Does rehearing happen at both the front and rear axels? What all components are involved in re-gearing? I’m just trying to better understand the full involvement of this endeavor.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Front and rear axles must be regeared together. With such a new vehicle, you wont need the master bearing kits as the bearings are already new. You will need minor kits for the new pinion spacers and some shims. Get genuine toyota seals as the kit seals aren't as good of quality. If you plan 33" or larger tires, consider 5.29 years instead of 4.88.
