OK, I don't have alot of time to search (although i have tried both online and on here, possibly lacking the skills?) I am getting ready to buy 33" and want to re-gear. I think 4.88 will do from what i have gathered so far. Were do i get these "gears" you speak of? Also looking at having someone that is knowledgeable install them. What am i looking at in labor cost? Just a ballpark figure. Thanks

 

go to 4wheelparts.com...they seem to be pretty cheap..called genuine gear..and another brand..(dont know the name)...im sure others will chime in with places that are better and/or cheaper...good luck!

 

Thanks. 7.5" Right?

 

buy here: http://www.justdifferentials.com/

front: 7.5"
rear: 8"

 

Stay the hell away from Genuine Gear....

I usually recommend Precision Gear brand and find a knowledgeable person to set them up. The set up is as important (if not more) than the gear make

 

Check this thread I started for some info:

ZUK @ http://www.gearinstalls.com/ did a stellar job and knows his stuff. I would stick with 4:56s if your going to run 33s.

 

Second that--i am running 35's & 4.88's and the motor spins pretty fast on the highways--33's and 4.88's--you better like driving slow.

You can also buy your gears/thirds pre set-up from marlin crawler, inchworm gear..etc.

 

i would say 4.56 for 33"s and the v6. Buddy of mine is running 4.88's and 37's

 

4.88's and 33's with an automatic is fine. Your overdrive is much higher than 5 speed trucks and your rpm won't be that high. .70:1 vs. .83:1

I have 4.56's in my 5spd 4runner. Rpm is similar to an auto with 5.29's in overdrive.

And don't get genuine gear. Almost anything else is better.

 

Precision gear all the way.

IMO, go with 4.56s & 33's if you do a lot of hwy/high speed driving. Otherwise, go 4.88s.
