What is the purpose of a 4.27 gear ratio?

A 4.27 gear ratio generally provides more torque to the wheels compared to a stock, numerically lower ratio. This is beneficial for improving acceleration, climbing capability, or for use with larger tires.

Does this ring and pinion set include bearings and installation hardware?

No, this set includes only the ring gear and pinion gear. You will need to source compatible bearings, seals, and installation hardware separately, and it's recommended to follow manufacturer guidelines for proper setup.

What does 'tapered axle shafts' refer to?

Tapered axle shafts are a specific design where the end of the axle shaft tapers down to meet the hub. This ring and pinion set is designed to work with that particular axle shaft configuration found on certain Jeep models.
