Revolution Gear & Axle 96-01 Jeep Cherokee XJ 8.25in Rear Timken Bearing 4.10 Ratio Gear Package

If you're looking to change the gear ratio in the rear axle of your 1996-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ, this 8.25-inch rear differential gear package from Revolution Gear & Axle is a solid option. This kit is designed to give you a 4.10 gear ratio, which is a popular choice for many off-roaders and those who have upgraded to larger tires. A 4.10 ratio offers a good balance for both on-road drivability and off-road performance, helping your engine operate in its optimal RPM range more often.

This package includes a complete set of Timken bearings, which are well-known for their durability and smooth operation. Timken bearings are a trusted name in the industry, and their inclusion means you're getting high-quality components for a critical part of your drivetrain. The kit contains all the necessary gears and installation hardware to properly set up your new differential ratio. Proper installation is key for the longevity of your differential, so ensure you follow the manufacturer's instructions closely, especially regarding gear pattern setup and break-in procedures.

When upgrading your gear ratio, consider what other modifications you might have made or plan to make. Larger tires, for instance, often necessitate a change in gearing to restore lost acceleration and maintain proper transmission shifting. This Revolution Gear & Axle package aims to provide a comprehensive solution for that common upgrade path for your XJ.
