Revolution Gear & Axle Dana 44 Thick Gear Rear Axle 4.56 Ratio Dual Drilled Ring & Pinion Set

The ring gear on this Revolution Gear & Axle set is a thick cut design, meaning it's built with more material in critical areas. This is especially important for Dana 44 axles, which can see a lot of stress. This set features a 4.56 gear ratio, a popular choice for those looking to improve off-road performance or handle larger tires without sacrificing too much highway drivability. The dual-drilled bolt pattern on the ring gear offers added flexibility during installation, allowing it to fit different carrier types.

Revolution Gear & Axle is known for making well-built drivetrain components. This ring and pinion set is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring smooth operation and efficient power transfer. The 4.56 ratio is a significant change from stock, so it's ideal for vehicles that have been modified with larger tires, typically 35 inches or more, or for those who frequently use their vehicle for off-roading and need more torque for climbing or crawling. Proper installation is key for any gear set, and it's recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions closely, including using the correct gear marking compound and backlash settings.

When changing your gear ratio, it's important to remember that it affects your speedometer calibration and potentially your transmission's shift points. You may need to recalibrate your speedometer after installation. This set is designed for the Dana 44 rear axle, a common and robust axle found in many trucks and SUVs.
