Ring and Pinion Gears

If you are changing tire size or want to improve the mileage or towing capability of your vehicle, then you'll want to change your axle's gear ratio. For help choosing the correct ratio, see the Crawlpedia Gear Ratio Guide.

Yukon Gear and Axle (Recommended) 3.54 | 3.73 | 4.11 | 4.30 | 4.56(T) | 4.88(T) | 5.13(T) Genuine Dana Spicer (OEM) 3.54 | 3.73 | 4.10 | 4.56(T) | 4.88(T) | 5.13(T) Crown Race Gears (Racing) 3.54 | 3.73 | 4.10 *Higher gears are available for 4.56 and up differentials.

Note: The Dana 60 axle has a 4.10/4.56 carrier break. To run 4.56 and higher gears on the 4.10 and down carrier, you will need to use "thick" gears. To learn more about carrier breaks, see Thick Gears and Carrier Breaks.

To change to a 4.56 and up differential for higher gear ratios or to run non-thick gears, you will need:
[ Dana 60 High Carrier Differentials ] + [ Dana 60 High Carrier Gears ]

Red High-Temp RTV Silicone (available at your local auto parts store) is the most common way to seal the differential cover on a Dana 60 axle, however, several aftermarket manufacturers now offer reusable gaskets that are much cleaner.
