Dana 35 IFS 4.56 gears for my 1999 ex advice needed.

[natskend]

I need a little advice guys. I am looking to upgrade my explorer to 33x12.5s and 4.56 gears. I have searched through this forum for advice on gears and have decided that 4.56 gears would be the best fit. I plan on driving this rig daily but also hitting the trails.

Here's the catch: I can't find reverse cut 4.56 gears for a Dana 35 anywhere! I have searched the interwebs high and low and have found a couple of options which have been discontinued.

Anybody know where I can find a set?

Thanks in advance guys.

As far as I know your 99 doesn't use reverse cut gears in the front D35.

It doesn't. Running standard cut 4.56 yukons on mine. Wish I had 4.88's. But glad I don't when I drive 6.5 hours on it. If it's your daily driver, with 33's that's the way to go. I do 70 to and from work for about 30min at just under 3k rpm the whole way.
