Yukon Dana 60 Reverse Rotation 5.38 Thick Ring & Pinion
YGD60R-538R-T
This is a 5.38 ratio, thick-cut Reverse Rotation Dana 60 ring & pinion designed to handle serious off-road abuse while staying quiet and reliable. Built from premium high grade steel with Yukon’s optimized tooth surface finish, this gear set reduces friction, lowers heat, and delivers long term durability in harsh trail and rock crawling environments.
This is a thick gear set, engineered specifically for 4.10 and down carriers (3-series). Perfect for high pinion Dana 60 front applications on Ford Super Duty and earlier Ford F-250/F-350 platforms.
Includes:
- 1 × 5.38 Ratio Reverse Rotation Dana 60 Ring Gear
- 1 × 29-Spline Thick Cut Pinion Gear
- 12-bolt ring gear pattern
- Required gear set components (as supplied by Yukon)

Tech Insight
Choosing a thick-cut gear set allows you to run a numerically higher ratio without swapping to a different carrier. Thick gears maintain proper pinion depth and tooth strength while compensating for the carrier offset of 4.10-and-down housings. Yukon’s finish machining reduces friction, increases service life, and keeps the gears quiet—even with oversized tires, heavy rigs, and aggressive off-road use.
