Need help from the guys with gears

[Jon]

I'm going to 35x12.5R15's and wanna toss in some 5.29's. I know it's overcompensation but that's what I looking for. A lil xtra nuts over the stock gearing. Not highway driven much.

But what I need help with is the parts search. What I have is a 97 Limited 3.4 V6, E-locker rear, stock gears are 4.30. I've looked at a lot of sights but would really hate to order the wrong parts. Thanks

The front is called the 7.5" High-pinion IFS diff with reverse cut gears (same as the Taco 7.5").

The rear is the 8" V6/Turbo diff (elocked and non-elocked 4runner diffs use the same gears). The OEM gears are a 30 spline pinion so you have to swap the pinion flange to a 27 spline for aftermarket gears.

Here's the best site for Toyota diff info..

what are you doing with your stock gears? are they in good shape? and im not sure you will be able to run a 15" wheel, check first before you dump all that money on 35s and wheels, make sure they clear over your calipers. you may need to run 16s...

x2 on the 15" rim as most Limiteds or trucks with the factory 16" have the large brake and the 15" wont clear. Especially since you are in Florida, contact ECGS(East Coast Gear Supply) they take really good care of their customers and who I plan on going with when I regear.

You guys obviously didn't see the post where he was able to clear his brakes with a 15" rim.
