    Description

    .

    Increased Power and Torque. Enjoy more power and torque with this 3.08 ratio Nitro Gear & Axle 8.8 in. Rear Ring Gear and Pinion Kit on your Ford F-150. It offers quicker and smoother transfer of power to the wheels. With these on your truck, you can notice an immediate improvement in low-end torque and in the form of faster acceleration. Indeed, these are the ideal parts to use for those power-hungry off-road operations.

    Cutting-Edge Construction. These Ring and Pinion gears from Nitro are manufactured using premium-level 8620 steel. They have been precision machined using computer controlled technology to ensure accuracy. They have also been heat-treated, CNC triple lapped, and Rockwell tested to ensure hardness, precise fit, and smooth and quiet operation.

    Recommended Upgrade. Please note that modifications to the gear ratio of your Ford F-150’s differential may cause the speedometer to display the wrong speed. This can be easily fixed with the help of a handheld tuner (sold separately).

    Note on Installation. Installing these Ring and Pinion gears can be complex and delicate. For best results, we recommend the help of a professional or a highly qualified mechanic.

    Worry-Free 2-Year Warranty. Nitro Gear & Axle confidently covers this Ring and Pinion gear kit with a two-year warranty against defects in structural workmanship. Please note that some conditions may apply.

    Application. This 3.08 ratio Nitro Gear & Axle 8.8 in. Rear Ring Gear and Pinion Kit is designed for all 1997-2009 Ford F-150s with an 8.8" (10 bolt) independent rear suspension differential. We highly recommend the use of a master bearing kit, especially on high mileage trucks.

    Please Note. Please check with your local Ford dealer if your F-150 has an 8.8 in. (10 bolt) or a 9.75 in. (12 bolt) differential.

    Technical Note. Please note that if your F-150 is a four-wheel drive model, it is required to match both the front and rear gear ratios to prevent severe damage to both the transfer case and transmission. To ensure proper installation, we recommend working with a reliable shop.
