Running 4.11 in the rear and 5.29 in thr front

rocklover · 07-25-2008, 09:50 AM

Hey everybody i am trading my 1991 explorer for a 1985 toyota p/u trail rig with a substantial lift and 33 in tires. I am wondering if it is okay to run the 4.11 in the rear with the 5.29 up front in 4 wheel drive or if this will hurt any parts? and is it also hard on the rest of the drive train to pull the 33's with 4.11 gears.
-He does have a third member with the 5.29 diff. but he said the teeth slip a little, but its not too bad lookin.

x2! DO NOT USE 4WD!!!

You will destroy a lot of parts. Get a set of 5.29s for the rear.

So where would be the easiest and cheapest way to get 5.29's in the rear? and could i find somebody to rebuild the 5.29?

Where are you located? If you're in AZ, ZUK is highly recommended.

Parts go boom. 4WD no work.

Nevermind what these n00bs are saying.

Since you are in Denver, just buy a set of 5.29's. We have some local toyota techs who are looking for side work, and will give you a factory toyota gear set up for a good price.

If you are interested, give me a PM and I'll get you in touch.

yeah big big no no. im not sure what he means by "teeth slip a little bit but its not too bad" pretty sure any ring gear deflection is considered more than just bad in my book...
