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

If you're looking to significantly improve your Jeep YJ or Cherokee XJ's off-road capability or prepare it for larger tires, a re-gear is a crucial step. This Revolution Gear & Axle package is designed for the Dana 44 rear axle, providing a 5.13 ratio that's ideal for vehicles running 37-inch or larger tires. This ratio helps bring your engine's RPMs back into an optimal range, restoring lost acceleration and drivability after a tire size increase.

This kit includes a set of thick ring and pinion gears, which are stronger than standard gears and recommended for applications where the differential housing might flex under extreme stress. The package also features Koyo bearings, a well-known name for their durability and smooth operation, ensuring a solid foundation for your new gear set. Revolution Gear & Axle is known for putting together comprehensive packages, and this one aims to give you the essential, high-quality components needed for a successful re-gear. Remember, a proper re-gear involves more than just swapping gears; it requires precise setup and backlash adjustment to ensure longevity and performance.

When undertaking a differential re-gear, it's important to have all the necessary installation components. While this package provides the critical ring and pinion gears and bearings, you'll typically need additional items like gear marking compound, a dial indicator, feeler gauges, and potentially a new pinion seal and gasket. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the most accurate setup procedures and recommended additional parts to ensure your new gears perform as expected for years to come.
