I am looking at ring and pinion gear sets for a 9.25 ifs out of a 92 k2500 suburban I do not know what I need I see offerings in both normal and reverse rotation and am confused I thought all front difs spun the same way respective to them being driver side drop or passenger side drop

They do spin the same way. Are you sure you're not thinking about reverse "cut" gears? I think the 9.25" IFS uses the same gear carrier as the 9.5" REAR axle.......meaning the gearsets would physically fit BOTH! So to designate the front IFS set would be the REVERSE cut gears.

thanks I just looked back on summint some of the part numbers have a r at the end of them I read the ones that did not have the r in the part number and say reverse rotation none of them say reverse cut here is the link https://www.summitracing.com/search...ing+and+Pinion+Gears&kr=Ring+and+Pinion+Gears

The 9.25 ifs carrier does use reverse rotation gear sets.

I am going with 4.88s or 5.13s
Gotcha, I have a set of factory 3.73’s for one, that’s why I was asking. But yes you’re looking for reverse rotation gear sets.

I was taught a bit differently. Maybe this short article can help clarify.
