If you’re serious about your ride, you’ve probably heard of Motive Gear. These guys don’t mess around when it comes to drive train components. Whether you’re hitting the trails or tearing up the pavement, their differential ring and pinion gear sets are built to perform. I’ve seen these in action, and trust me, they’re not just for show. Their gear options cover a huge range of ratios, making it easy to find the perfect fit for whatever you’re driving—whether it’s a classic Ford or a modern SUV.

One of the standout features of Motive Gear is the quality. Years of racing development have gone into these components, and it shows. They’ve been extensively tested by in-house engineers, so you know you’re getting something that’s been pushed to its limits and still comes out on top. Plus, you’ll often spot Motive Gear products in the winner’s circle at races around the globe, which says a lot about their reliability.

Now, let’s get into the specifics. This particular model is designed for the Ford 8.8" rear end, featuring a 4.56 gear ratio. It’s got a ring gear diameter of 8.8 inches and a solid build with 8620 steel that can take a beating. With 41 teeth on the ring gear and 9 on the pinion, it’s engineered for strength and performance. You’ll need a notched cross pin for proper clearance, but once it’s set up, you’ll appreciate the smooth operation and improved torque.
