Crown Race Gears


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.

Ring and Pinion Gears *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.

Differentials and Lockers

Differential Cover Gaskets

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.

Note: The 33 Spline Dana Super 60 rear axle uses a 12 bolt differential cover that is different from the standard 10 bolt Dana 60 cover so LubeLocker gaskets will not fit this axle.

Gear Oil

Dana Spicer recommends 80w90 Mineral oil or 75W140 synthetic oil, however, we recommend 75w90 full-synthetic gear oil for all Dana 60 applications (plus a traction modifier for differentials that require it).
