Why is regearing necessary?
To understand the necessity of regearing, let's dig into the problem from its root.
When you became the proud owner of your SUV or truck, you would have modified it with after-market off-road products to make it apt for the trails. Of the most, changing your vehicle’s factory tires with larger tires fit for off-road is the prime upgrade you do. Once you ride with the jumbo tires, you will feel its side effects like performance loss, power loss, slower take-off, increased wear of the drivetrain, and decreased fuel efficiency.
Ever wondered, why this is happening? Its really pretty simple. It's a mechanical problem much like a bicycle. Larger tires make the axle spin faster, spinning your differential faster. So your engine, never gets a chance to get into that RPM power band, often causing an automatic transmission to rarely shift up and you're constantly bogging your engine.
Then there's heavy equipment. After adding campers, bumpers, accessories, and gear, your vehicle gets weighed down. While many trucks are designed to have a payload, that does wear out your transmission faster and your engine is in a constant state of being bogged down. That makes you dump more fuel just to get the engine's RPMs where they should be, reducing your engine and transmission's efficiency, and causing excess wear. These negative impacts are due to the stress put on the drivetrain by the new tire’s diameter, weight, and rolling resistance with additional weight. The factory-set gear ratio wasn't designed to handle the stress to deliver the same performance. The solution is re-gearing your truck with the Nitro Gear Packages available on ToytecLifts.com.
When you re-gear the differentials, the new ring and pinion gear ratios installed at the front and rear, cause your axles to spin at the right speed in relation to the transmission gear, causing the transmission to shift at its proper shift points and your engine to be at a proper RPM, increasing efficiency and performance while excess reducing wear. You can also regear your 4x4 used for daily drives to improve performance.
Before regearing, measure your tire size, calculate the required gear ratio, and look out for Nitro Gear Packages with proper fitment for your truck’s make and model.
