Revolution Gear & Axle 03-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ Rubicon Dana 44 Timken Bearing 5.38 Ratio Gear Package

Revolution Gear & Axle is known for making solid drivetrain components, and this 5.38 ratio gear package for your 2003-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ Rubicon is a prime example. If you've upgraded to larger tires or are looking to improve your off-road performance, changing your differential gear ratio is a key step. A 5.38 ratio is a popular choice for TJ Rubicon owners running 35-inch or larger tires, as it helps bring your engine RPMs back into a more efficient range for highway driving and provides better torque for crawling over obstacles.

This package includes everything you need to get that ratio changed over. You'll find a set of precision-cut ring and pinion gears designed for optimal meshing and quiet operation. Crucially, it also comes with a full set of Timken bearings. Timken is a well-respected name in the bearing industry, known for their durable and reliable products. Using quality bearings like these is essential for the longevity and smooth operation of your differential. The 5.38 ratio means for every 5.38 rotations of the driveshaft, the wheel will rotate once, giving you more torque off the line and at lower speeds.

When tackling a gear change like this, it's important to have all the necessary installation components. This kit is designed to be a comprehensive solution for the Dana 44 differential found in TJ Rubicon models. While this package provides the core gear set and bearings, remember that a professional installation often involves setting backlash, pinion depth, and using specialized tools. It's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions or a trusted mechanic to ensure the job is done right for optimal performance and durability.
