Bigger gears

Hey guys, I'm ging to put bigger gears in my truck probably 4.10. My only two questions are will putting those gears in disable my Trak-Lok, also will those gears fit in the differential housing.

Oh, one more question I think i'm going to put a locker in the rear. What brand do you guys reccomend. Also will that fit in the case with out a problem??

1990 Ford Bronco--- 3.55 Trak-lok rear axle, dana44 front W/ Eaton locker!!!

If you want to know what gears and lockers are available for your axle check.


www.precisiongear.com

www.reiderracing.com

www.drivetraindirect.com

www.ringpinion.com

www.drivetrainwarehouse.com

These are just a few places sell gears, install kits, and lockers



The strongest, best locker IMO is the Detroit.
Or, if you want a selectable look into an ARB or wait to see if the Detroit Electrac will be available for your application soon.

Hope this helps.

When I regeared my truck I had to get different carriers in order to fit the 4:10's. The lowest that you can go would be 3:73's with out replacing the carriers. Go with the Detroit, wouldn't traded mine for the world.

Hey BlownBronco,
Is the Trak-lok a selectable locker? How much did it cost?
Thanks

The trak-lok in the rear is from the factory. It's not selectable. My front Eaton Locker is selectable!!
