Why You Might Need New Ring & Pinion Gears
Believe it or not, a Jeep Gladiator gear kit may be the difference between making it over the next obstacle or getting stuck in the mud, which is why it's a good idea to choose an aftermarket kit. The first benefit you'll notice, right out of the box, is that aftermarket options are more durable, with the best gears featuring anodized billet aluminum. Regardless of the material, there's a good chance that some new gears will improve your shifting experience.
Now, for the fun benefits, like more low-end torque when you need it the most. Towing a boat? Not a problem with a set of Jeep Gladiator 4.88 gears. Need to climb over rocks and steep hills? Those same gears will make the process a breeze, and your truck will shift better the entire time. A set of taller gears will also open up the opportunity to add bigger wheels and tires without sacrificing performance. In fact, you can even go crazy with giant wheels and tires if you have tall enough 5.13 gears.
Achieve the Perfect 2020-2025 Jeep Gladiator Gear Ratio
Choosing the right Jeep Gladiator gears comes down to a few factors, with the first one being how you drive. Are you someone who needs a lot of torque to climb rocks? You may want to swap out your OE Jeep Gladiator gears for taller ones. This will give your vehicle the low-end torque necessary to conquer the trails.
Even if you’re not someone who off-roads, it's important to consider the size of your wheels and tires. A good rule of thumb to follow is that you'll need to change your gear ratio if you have bigger wheels and tires. While your stock gear ratio may be fine for your stock wheels and tires, bigger wheels lose leverage, and going from a 3.73 ratio to a 4.56 or even a 4.88 gear ratio can help you get more torque and acceleration.
