  • 1983-1996 Ford Bronco (2WD/4WD, All Engines)
  • 1985-2014 Ford Mustang (RWD, All Engines) - solid axle applications; excludes IRS-equipped SVT Cobra models
  • 1991-2003 Ford Explorer (2WD/4WD, All Engines) - solid axle; Explorer Sport retains solid 8.8" through 2003
  • 1990-2011 Ford Ranger (2WD/4WD, 4.0L V6 and Super Cab models)
  • 1997-2009 Ford Expedition (2WD/4WD, All Engines)

Fitment Notes

  • Fits standard rotation Ford 8.8" solid axle applications only - does not fit reverse rotation front axle variants
  • Does not fit 2015+ F-150 Super 8.8" 12-bolt rear - a separate gear set is required for 2015+ applications
  • Does not fit Ford 9.75" 12-bolt rear axle used on higher GVWR F-150 trims and F-250 models
  • Does not fit IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) versions of the 8.8" found in SVT Mustang Cobra and select Lincoln models
  • Ford Ranger fitment confirmed for 4.0L V6 models and 1998-2011 Super Cab variants regardless of engine; verify axle diameter before ordering on other Ranger trims

Product Description

The Yukon YG F8.8-355 is a high-performance ring and pinion gear set built for the standard rotation Ford 8.8" 10-bolt rear differential in a 3.55:1 ratio. Compatible with F-150 trucks, Mustangs, Broncos, Explorers, Rangers, Expeditions, Crown Victorias, and Econoline vans from 1983 through 2014, this gear set is the right choice for builders seeking a mild ratio upgrade that prioritizes highway efficiency and daily driveability. The 3.55 is particularly well-suited for moderate tire size increases - correcting RPM drop at highway speeds without pushing the engine into the higher rev range associated with more aggressive ratios like 3.73 or 4.11.

Yukon engineers the gear tooth surface finish to reduce friction and heat buildup, contributing to quieter operation and longer service life under sustained driving conditions. Both the ring and pinion are produced from high-grade steel with advanced heat-treating applied to OEM dimensional tolerances, ensuring a clean contact pattern and straightforward setup for experienced installers. The 30-spline pinion and standard rotation design make this a direct-fit replacement for the solid axle Ford 8.8" across its full production run.

Before ordering, confirm your axle is the standard rotation solid-axle 8.8" 10-bolt - this gear set does not fit the 2015+ Super 8.8" 12-bolt rear, the Ford 9.75" rear, or IRS variants of the 8.8". A matching master overhaul kit, crush sleeve, and bearings are sold separately and strongly recommended for a complete rebuild. All Yukon ring and pinion sets are covered under the Y.E.S. Plan, providing lifetime protection for as long as you own the vehicle.
