Product Description
The Yukon Gear & Axle YG D60-456 ring and pinion set is a high-performance upgrade built specifically for Dana 60 axles with standard rotation configurations. With a 4.56:1 ratio and a “thick” cut design tailored for carriers originally spec’d for 4.11 or numerically lower ratios, this gear set delivers excellent performance for lifted rigs, large tires, towing, and high-torque applications.
Constructed from high-strength alloy steel and featuring a precision-engineered gear tooth finish, the YG D60-456 reduces friction and heat for improved durability and quiet operation under demanding conditions. Designed to OEM specifications for Dana Spicer 60 axles, it includes a 29-spline pinion and 12-bolt ring gear for maximum strength and reliability.
Installation requires properly setting pinion depth and backlash using tools such as a torque wrench, dial indicator, and pinion depth tool. Yukon includes a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects, with an optional lifetime Y.E.S. Plan for long-term coverage. Ideal for rebuilds, performance upgrades, or restoring proper gearing to classic and heavy-duty trucks from Chevy, GMC, Dodge, Ford, Plymouth, and Jeep.
