    Cutting-Edge Construction. These Ring and Pinion gears are built using durable 8620 steel which has been CNC-cut using a computer controlled technology. And to ensure reliability, proper fitment and smooth operation, these gears have been heat treated, CNC triple lapped, and Rockwell tested.

    Please Note. Contact your local Ford dealer to find out if your F-150 is designed with an 8.8 in. (10 bolt) or a 9.75 in. (12 bolt) differential.

    Technical Note. It is required to match both the front and rear gear ratios on Ford F-150 four-wheel-drive models to prevent damage to both the transfer case and transmission. It is recommended to work with a qualified shop that you trust.
