High-Torque Gear Ratio Upgrade. The Motive Gear Dana 44 Rear Axle Thick Ring and Pinion Gear Kit is built for Jeep owners pushing their rigs to the limit on trails or under load. Featuring a 4.88 gear ratio, this thick gear set is optimized for high-torque applications and is ideal for off-road builds running oversized tires or performance modifications. It delivers increased low-end torque and throttle response where you need it most.
Construction and Appearance. Precision-machined from high-strength materials, this ring and pinion gear kit is engineered for durability and smooth operation under extreme stress. The "thick" gear design allows compatibility with standard differential carriers when regearing from higher factory ratios, eliminating the need for additional carrier upgrades. Every set is crafted to exacting standards for long-term performance and dependability.
Installation. Installation is considered hard and should be performed by a professional technician with experience in setting backlash, bearing preload, and gear mesh. Specialized tools and a thorough understanding of differential setup are required for proper function and longevity.
Warranty. This product includes a one-year or 50,000-mile warranty against defects in materials or workmanship.
Application. This Motive Gear Dana 44 Rear Axle Thick Ring and Pinion Gear Kit fits 1987 to 2006 Jeep Wrangler YJ & TJ.
