Since Ford discontinued many 10.5 inch specific ring and pinion sets, this spacer lets you install the widely available 10.25 inch ring and pinion into a 2008 and up 10.5 inch housing. It is a precision machined shim designed specifically for this conversion, giving you access to a broader range of gear ratios without swapping the entire housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision machined conversion spacer for 2008 and up Ford 10.5 inch housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllows use of readily available Ford 10.25 inch ring and pinion sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpens up gear ratio options when 10.5 inch specific gear sets are hard to source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured by Yukon Gear and Axle to precise tolerances for accurate pinion depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, corrosion resistant construction built for long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSK F10.5-CONV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYukon Gear \u0026amp; Axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConverts 2008 and up Ford 10.5 inch housing to accept Ford 10.25 inch ring and pinion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrecision machined steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear differential, pinion side\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Yukon Gear conversion spacer, SK F10.5-CONV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Yukon Gear \u0026amp; Axle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYukon Gear and Axle has manufactured differential components, ring and pinion sets, and drivetrain hardware for decades.

The 10.25 inch gear sets remain widely produced, so this spacer gives you far more ratio options for regearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need any other parts to complete this conversion?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. You will also need a compatible 10.25 inch ring and pinion set and the correct bearing and installation kit for your application. This spacer only handles the housing to gear set conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a difficult installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis conversion should be performed by someone experienced with differential setup, since pinion depth and backlash must be checked and adjusted using standard gear marking compound procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAre any special tools required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dial indicator, pinion depth setting tools, and standard differential assembly tools are recommended to properly verify backlash and gear pattern after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes installing this spacer affect my warranty on the ring and pinion set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarranty coverage is determined by the ring and pinion manufacturer. Follow their recommended installation and break in procedures to keep that warranty valid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a break in period after installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. As with any new ring and pinion installation, a break in period with reduced load and highway driving is recommended before towing or heavy use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan this spacer be reused if I change gear ratios again later?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spacer itself can typically be reused as long as it is not damaged, but always inspect it for wear before reinstalling with a new gear set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the return policy on this part?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis part can be returned if unused and in original packaging within our standard return window.
