Get that power back and increase your off-road enjoyment with a gear swap from Tribe-16.

RE-GEARING

Big tires and a taller stance can take its toll on your on-highway performance, it can be even less fun off road.

If you are ready to take it to the next level, add a locker or limited slip to your gear swap, it’s economically the best time to add a traction device and you will not find a better upgrade for off-road capability.

⚙️ What Are the Signs You Might Need to Re-Gear?

Big tires but sluggish takeoff? Engine constantly hunting for the right gear? Poor MPG or loss of torque on hills? These are all signs your gear ratio isn’t matched to your setup.

🛠️ Why Re-Gear Instead of Just Adding Power?

Re-gearing adjusts the final drive ratio to match your tire size and driving style. It’s a mechanical fix that restores torque and drivability—without stressing your engine or transmission.

📈 What's the Benefit of Re-Gearing?

You regain power, improve fuel economy, reduce drivetrain strain, and get a smoother drive on and off-road. It's a game-changer for oversized tire setups.

🔧 What Actually Gets Replaced?

We swap out the ring and pinion gears in your axles. Optionally, we can replace bearings, seals, and even upgrade to stronger carriers if needed.

⏰ How Long Does It Take?

Most re-gears take 1 to 2 full days. It depends on vehicle type, axle setup, and if we're doing front and rear or just one end.

❗Can You DIY Re-Gearing?

Highly discouraged. Re-gearing requires precision setup—backlash, tooth contact, and preload must be perfect. Done wrong, it can destroy your gears fast.
