About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the front axle on your 1972-1986 Jeep CJ, getting the right ring and pinion gears is crucial for restoring proper driveability. This kit from Omix is designed specifically for the Dana 30 front differential found in CJ5, CJ6, CJ7, and CJ8 Scrambler models, featuring the popular 3.54 gear ratio. This ratio is often chosen for a good balance between on-road cruising and off-road capability, especially when paired with larger tires.

Omix has put together a comprehensive kit here, including not just the ring and pinion gears themselves, but also all the small parts you'll need for a proper installation. You'll find the ring gear bolts, differential shims, pinion shims, bearings, seals, pinion nut, washer, and even the gasket. This means you can tackle the job with confidence, knowing you have the necessary components on hand. The gears are manufactured to OE specifications, ensuring they mesh correctly and operate smoothly within your Dana 30 housing.

Installing a ring and pinion set is a detailed job that requires precision and patience. It's recommended to consult your Jeep's service manual for the correct procedures, including backlash settings and torque specifications. This kit is a solid option for anyone looking to replace worn-out gears or change their gear ratio to better suit their driving needs. Omix backs this kit with a 5-year limited warranty, giving you added peace of mind.
