4.7:1 gears for toyota?

oldbeercans · Dec 11, 2007

so just a quick question. do you really need to run 4.7:1 gears in a toyota dual case setup or is two stock geared cases good enough? just wondering if anyone has tried the dual cases with stock gearing and what they think. i run 5.29s in the diffs and run 35" tires at the moment. hate to spend the extra 300-400 bucks if i dont need them.

It will make a big difference. Not needed but if you do the duals might as well go all the way.

if you plan on sticking with 35's then stock duals is plenty low:awesomework: right around 110. 1 and that is plenty low

but of course 220.1 is nice to

You should be OK! If your just gonna buy the adapter, to mate two stock cases together, go for it! But if your gonna buy a new reduction case and the adapter, then go for the 4.7. The cases have to be clearanced for the gears. Thats how I would make my decision.

Talk to Odie, he's always got some 4.7 gears and case for sale.

I have both. You can get away with just duals, but having the 4.7's in the second case are a nice option when doing technical crawling.

I have both. But I am running 38.5's. I use my 4.7 box a lot.

why stop at 2 cases may as well go with 3 ??

Hmm... I have a crawlbox, a topshift case, a set of 4.7's and an extra forward shift case that are all 23 spline. I think that my 244:1 (4.31x2.28x4.7x5.29) will be low enough.

I had dual cases and a 4 2 1 t-case gear and 5.29's(192 to 1??) and it could actually torque the motor at times. More than not it just revved and barely moved.

buying a clearenced case is a waste of money.. spend 20 minutes with an air grinder or a die grinder... i loved my dual with 4.7 and 40's but really it's over kill in the NW, i have rarely needed or used 1st gear double low mostly third gear in double low.. you will be happy either way,

i plan on hitting moab when im ready, if its still open. i also have a spare top shift case and i think i will just run the duals stock for now, then when i think i need more ill put 4.7s in my spare and put it in the truck. with 35s and 5.29for now i think ill be good. the last thing i need right now is to spend the extra cash on something i will never need to use.
