Looking for advice re gearing front and rear on 2008 4x4 tacoma for 35" tires.

Just from what ive read I want the gears from ECGS was also wanting a locking rear Diff while im doing it but i was told the clam would be to small for the upgrade any suggestions?

 

If you want to lock. Do front and rear. 4.56 for 35s, you are good to go

 

^ agree


I did Front/rear 4.56 nitro gears and have not regretted yet. The tire size i am running is 315/70/17. Make wheeling safer and less stress on the vehicle. I went with nitro 4.56 gears with arb front and back.

 

Alright I am teaching myself as I go here but ECGS said my clam would have to be replaced to put a locker in is this correct? I was getting it all shipped to canada...

 

I'm not on 35s, but am looking at the same package currently. From my understanding, the clam is a pain to remove and much more so to crack open and do the required work correctly. I plan to save time and $$ on the back end by just ordering the complete 3rd and clam from ECGS and having my mechanic do the install (that's not really the part where I save money, but I know it'll be done correctly)
