If you've upgraded your tires to a larger size, or if you're looking to improve your Jeep's on-road manners and towing capability, changing your differential gear ratio is a smart move.

You'll get the high-strength 4.88 ratio ring and pinion gears, precision-machined from durable steel for long-lasting performance. Crucially, it also includes a full set of Timken bearings and installation hardware. Timken is a well-known name in bearings, recognized for their strength and reliability, ensuring smooth operation and reduced friction for your differential. This kit is designed to fit right into your Jeep's existing 8.25-inch rear axle housing, making the installation process as straightforward as possible for a gear change.

When undertaking a gear change, it's important to have all the necessary installation components. This kit aims to provide that, including the gears themselves and the high-quality Timken bearings. Remember that proper setup and break-in procedures are critical for the longevity of any new gear set. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for detailed guidance on setting backlash, gear pattern, and the recommended break-in period to ensure optimal performance and durability.
