Default Where to Get Gears!

Anyone know a reputable place to purchase and have installed gears on my 06 F-150 4X4? I am looking for somewhere in Southern California, near Riverside/San Bernardino... Thanks in advance...

Sorry I can't help you out there, never lived in that area before. Just wanted to respond to your post though so you know that it is being looked at. What gears are you thinking about putting in?

As for which brand, I don't know... But Size Wise, I am planning on going with 4.88's... The reason for such a large size is to pull my HEAVY toy hauler!

Get Ford Motorsport gears. They are an OEM cut and if set up right will not whine like a Richmond gear or some other race only brands.. Yukon is a good name brand. We used those at the 4WD shop. As for where to get them. If it were me I would price them from Ford, Jegs and Summit.

its for a mustang but as long as you have the 8.8" rear end it should fit right?

Yukon gears are the best...period... they are manufactured from Randy's ring and pinion.... you can google that name and buy direct from them.... being in SoCal area near riverside/san bernadino I would take the short drive to SoCal Super Trucks... they are right off the 10 and do great work on some sick ***** trucks

I put Yukon gears, axles, and LSD in my '53 Bel Air with a Chevy 10 bolt and was amazed at how easy it was and how well the install went. If you have a weekend and some mechanical aptitude / ambition, I'm sure you could pull it off too. 4.88's though? That's a lot of gear for 35's...
