    After doing some reading/searching, I've decided these are the right gears for my 33" tire setup. Acceleration has greatly suffered, and the transmission is constantly searching for and holding gears.

    Which 4.56 gear do I buy and where? Is there are particular brand I should buy?

    What year is your truck and what other mods do you have going on so far? I’m on 33s, full rear swing out bumper, and gears are another year or more out for me. Just wondering what your rolling with to need gears ASAP

    2005 sequoia 2WD with a 4.1 rear axle.

    It's not horrible, but it's sluggish and noticeable. I've been on 33's with stock gearing for almost 2 years now. Since I'm installing a rear locker, I figured I might as well get the gearing done too.

    Nitro gears 100%. I've been running them since 2010, bought from Justdiffs along with the bearings/shims and a solid collar. Give them a call.

    I have Nitro Gears on my 04 Tacoma and I'm pleased with them. I just ordered 4.88's and a Eaton TrueTrac for the Tundra and I can't wait to get them installed.

    Same here. Nitro all the way. Had these on my 2005 and it was like a rocket ship.
