Where to buy ring and pinions ?
Like the title says, I am ready to upgrade my ring and pinion. I have decieded to go with 4.88. My towing demands have gone up and according to TRS's gear ratio calculator I should go with 4.88. Where is a good place, and whats a good price and brand ? Does Ford make a 4.88 gear set for our rangers ? I don't think it will be hard to find a set of the rear but I also need a set for the front.

This is the guy I used for my axle stuff when I built it. I got the locker, gears and rebuild kits all from him.

the best place to call about infoand gears that can tell you what gear you need to run is 4 Wheel Parts. They will ask you some questions about your truck and tell you what you need.

So whats up with that ?

when the person you talk to ask what front end you have tell them you have a "Dana 35 Standard Rotation".

I would never trust 4wheelparts with gears/install kits. I know all the guys at my local 4wheelparts and no way. Half the time you order stuff you get the wrong parts anyways. When I bought my winch the box was destroyed and the handle on the clutch drum was broken off, and wasn't even in the box, and they wouldn't do anything to fix it.
I only buy tires from them, cuz they are the cheapest. Except now a friend works for discount tire and I can use his discount.
