Revolution Gear & Axle 96-02 Jeep Wrangler TJ Dana 44 Rear Timken Bearing 4.56 Ratio Gear Package

This Revolution Gear & Axle package gives you everything you need to change the gear ratio in the Dana 44 rear axle of your 1996-2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ to a 4.56 ratio. Inside this kit, you'll find a new set of 4.56 ratio ring and pinion gears, along with a complete installation kit featuring Timken bearings and all the necessary installation hardware. Changing your gear ratio is a common upgrade for Jeep owners, especially when fitting larger tires, as it helps bring your engine's RPMs back into a more efficient range at cruising speeds.

Revolution Gear & Axle sources quality components for their kits, and this package includes Timken bearings, which are well-known for their durability and precise fit. The 4.56 ratio is a popular choice for TJ owners running 33-inch to 35-inch tires, offering a good balance between on-road drivability and off-road capability. Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and performance of your differential, so be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, including the break-in procedure, to ensure the gears mesh correctly and wear evenly.

This kit is designed for the Dana 44 rear axle found in many Jeep Wrangler TJs. While this package includes all the essential components for the gear change, you may need additional specialized tools for setting backlash, pinion depth, and gear pattern. If you're not comfortable with differential work, it's always best to have a qualified mechanic perform the installation to ensure the job is done right.
