Revolution Gear & Axle 96-02 Jeep Wrangler TJ Dana 44 Rear Timken Bearing 5.13 Ratio Gear Package

This Revolution Gear & Axle package gives you everything you need to re-gear the Dana 44 rear axle in your 1996-2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ with a 5.13 ratio. Inside this kit, you'll find a set of 5.13 ratio ring and pinion gears, along with a complete set of Timken bearings and installation hardware. This is a comprehensive package designed to handle the job of changing your differential gearing, which is often done to compensate for larger tires or to improve on-road performance.

Revolution Gear & Axle sources quality components, and this kit includes Timken bearings, a well-known name for their durability and precision in drivetrain applications. The 5.13 ratio is a significant change from stock, offering a substantial increase in torque multiplication. This means your engine will work less to turn the wheels, which is especially beneficial if you've added larger tires to your TJ. The ring and pinion gears themselves are manufactured to meet strict tolerances, ensuring smooth operation and efficient power transfer from your driveshaft to the axles. This kit is intended for the Dana 44 rear axle, a robust unit found in many Jeep Wrangler models.

When undertaking a gear change like this, proper setup is critical. While this kit includes the necessary gears and bearings, you'll also need specialized tools for differential work, such as dial indicators for backlash and pattern checking, and a press for bearing installation. It's also a good idea to have a quality gear marking compound on hand to verify the gear mesh. If you're not experienced with differential work, consider consulting a professional mechanic or referring to a service manual for detailed installation instructions to ensure the longevity and performance of your new gears.
