Greetings all!
I have been searching and reading and i believe i am more confused about this topic than before as it relates to my year hilux. I am now running 275/70/16 tyres on my 2004 1KZ manual SR5, and wish to re-gear and install lockers at the same time. My current tras/axle code is A01B.
I don't believe swapping used parts into my rig is a viable choice for me based on (zero) availability in my location.
What I currently believe is the best way forward is to purchase aftermarket ring and pinion to regear my diffs in front and rear to 4.58:1 (or should it be 4.10:1?) ratio.
Ive been trying to figure what is the correct part on http://www.nitro-gear.com/ring-pinions/ to fit my application... What type of Diff does a pre-2005 SR5 have on the front? Is it a clamshell on the front and / or rear? is it a "reverse" ring and pinion in the front because its IFS? Are there any other recommendations for aftermarket 4.58 diff gears?
Any guidance in the right direction is appreciated...
