Revolution Gear & Axle 84-96 Jeep YJ/Cherokee XJ Dana 35 Rear Timken Bearing 4.88 Ratio Gear Package

This is the Revolution Gear & Axle 4.88 ratio gear package specifically for the Dana 35 rear axle found in 1984-1996 Jeep YJ and Cherokee XJ models. If you're looking to significantly change your tire size, especially going up to 35-inch or larger tires, changing your differential gear ratio is essential for getting your Jeep's performance back to where it should be. A 4.88 ratio is a popular choice for those running larger tires, helping to bring your engine RPMs back into a more efficient and responsive range on the highway and improving acceleration off-road.

This package includes all the necessary Timken bearings and installation hardware to complete the gear swap. Timken bearings are well-known for their durability and smooth operation, making them a solid choice for a critical drivetrain component like your differential. Revolution Gear & Axle sources quality components to ensure a reliable rebuild. Installing a new gear ratio involves setting up the ring and pinion gears correctly, which requires precision and the right tools. This kit aims to provide you with the core components needed for a proper installation, ensuring your differential operates smoothly and efficiently after the change.

When undertaking a gear change like this, it's important to have a service manual for your specific Jeep model for detailed setup procedures, including backlash and pattern checking. While this kit contains the essential bearings and gears, you may also need additional items such as differential fluid, a gasket or sealant for the cover, and potentially a gear marking compound for setup. Taking the time to do the job right will ensure longevity and optimal performance from your new gear ratio.
