5.29 in a 4.6L

making my shopping list for putting 5.29 in my ‘17 4.6L just wanna make sure ive got everything ill need to bring to the installer. Im 2wd so only need rears, but im only 75% sure ive got the right size/kit. Also why does the install kit say i have to use the OEM pinion?

Maybe you can buy 5.29 gears, but will they fit in the differential housing? Reusing a 3.91 ratio pinion with a 5.29 ring gear does sound a little f'd up. Might want to consult the vendor's technical service for reassurance. Don't forget to fill us in.

 

Call manufacture find out exactly what parts you will need make sure you get the correct part numbers

 

What size tires you running?

 

Call Nitro and confirm if that gear for a 97 and older land cruiser will work in the tundra 9.5 rear end. I would think if it worked, nitro would have added tundra 9.5 as a supported vehicle for that gear

 

There are 2 different generations of 9.5 axles. Call for sure and double check the spline counts to ensure you’re seeing the correct stuff

 

gonna be running 35s

 

good to know, the only info ive been able to find on regearing a 4.6 was from an old post by @dirtydeeds

 

thats why i was unsure of weather it was the correct install kit. guess im gonna have to bite the bullet and call nitro to confirm

 

Did you go through regearing your 4.6? Looking to do the same on mine.
