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

This is the Revolution Gear & Axle 5.13 ratio thick rear gear package, specifically for the 1996-2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ equipped with a Dana 44 rear axle. If you've upgraded to larger tires or plan to, changing your axle ratio is crucial for restoring proper performance and drivability. A 5.13 ratio is a popular choice for Wranglers running 35-inch to 37-inch tires, helping your engine operate in its optimal power band and improving acceleration.

This package includes a set of well-built Koyo ring and pinion gears, known for their strength and precision. The 'thick' designation means these gears are designed for applications where the original differential housing might not be strong enough for standard gears, or to accommodate specific axle setups. Revolution Gear & Axle packages are put together with quality components to ensure a solid installation. You'll find that changing your gear ratio can make a significant difference in how your Jeep feels on the road and off-road, especially when towing or climbing hills.

When installing a new gear set like this, it's important to follow the manufacturer's break-in procedure carefully. This typically involves a period of moderate driving without hard acceleration or heavy braking, followed by an oil change. This process allows the new gear teeth to properly mate and ensures long-term durability. This package is designed to be a complete solution for changing your rear axle ratio.
