Do I need to re-gear after installing larger tires?
Going up two or more tire sizes typically requires re-gearing to restore performance. We'll check your current ratio and recommend the right gear for your tire size and driving style. Our shop at 9261 Bally Ct, Rancho Cucamonga is about 23 miles from Redlands — most customers are in and out the same day.
What's the difference between a locker and a limited-slip?
A limited-slip transfers some power to the wheel with traction. A locker fully locks both wheels together for maximum traction. Lockers are stronger off-road; limited-slips are easier on pavement.
How long does a gear change take?
A full re-gear of front and rear axles takes a full day. We do the work, set up the gear pattern, and put break-in oil in. You drive carefully for the first 500 miles, then return for an oil change.
We serve these nearby locations for drivetrain & differential service:
“Empire re-geared my Tacoma after I went up to 35s. The truck drives like it should again — power back, RPMs in range. Floyd and the crew did the gear setup right.”
“Had an ARB Air Locker installed in the rear diff of my Wrangler. The install is clean, the air system works perfectly, and the Jeep is a different animal on the trail.”
“Empire diagnosed and fixed a U-joint vibration my last shop missed. Honest crew that found the actual problem instead of throwing parts at it.”
