Ring & Pinion gear ratio?
Quick question about gear ratios or those with experience with gearing down the Toyotas. My only exp. with this was on a 68 GMC that I swapped out the front end on and I had to match the gears. That was years ago and a different truck.
So my question is I see basically two gear options for my rig: 4.88's and 5.29's. The 4.88's are recommended for 33's and the 5.29's for taller tires but how much lower of gearing can I expect? I don't mind the lower gearing, I just don't want something that is going to top out at 55 or 60mph due to the gear ratio.
Any suggestions?

please search for a gear calculator...

You also need to know weather you have a AT or not... B/c you use the next lowest gear for the tire diameter you want if you have one.
