Revolution Gear & Axle 87-96 Jeep YJ/Cherokee XJ Dana 44 Rear Timken Bearing 5.13 Ratio Gear Package

If you're looking to significantly change your Jeep YJ or Cherokee XJ's gearing for larger tires or more demanding off-road use, a re-gear is the way to go. This Revolution Gear & Axle package is built around a 5.13 ratio, which is a popular choice for those running 35-inch or larger tires, helping to bring your engine's RPMs back into a more efficient range on the highway and improving low-end torque for crawling. This kit is specifically for the Dana 44 rear axle found in many 1987-1996 Jeep YJ and Cherokee XJ models.

What sets this package apart is the inclusion of Timken bearings. Timken is a well-known name in drivetrain components, and their bearings are recognized for their durability and smooth operation. This means you're getting a solid foundation for your new gear set, which is crucial for longevity and performance. The 5.13 ratio is a substantial change from stock, so it's important to consider your tire size and intended use when deciding if this is the right ratio for your Jeep. This kit provides the essential components for a proper differential rebuild with a significant change in gearing.

When undertaking a gear change like this, it's important to have all the necessary installation tools and supplies. While this package includes the ring and pinion gears along with the Timken bearings, you'll typically need additional items such as differential fluid, sealants, and potentially a master bearing installation kit if it's not explicitly included. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the most accurate guidance on the process and any additional parts you might need to complete the job correctly.
