      Description

      Enhanced Performance. Enhance your Wrangler’s off-road performance by upgrading to the Nitro Gear & Axle Dana 44 Front Ring Gear and Pinion Kit. Featuring a 5.38 gear ratio combined with a premium steel build, this kit is made to help your Wrangler brave the trickiest of terrains. What’s more, this kit is meant to match your custom rig, placing you on the power band faster and improving your torque and overall drivability.

      Off-Road Re-Gearing. Opting for larger tires for a better off-road experience often results in a decrease in performance. This is because a larger rolling diameter pushes the engine to work double-time to keep up, resulting in more fuel consumption. Luckily for you, the Nitro Gear & Axle Dana 44 Front Ring Gear and Pinion Kit is here to help those new tires in place, giving you a better off-road experience without sacrificing performance.

      Premium Gear Construction. The Nitro Gear & Axle Dana 44 Front Ring Gear and Pinion Kit is constructed from premium materials and forged from 8620 steel alloy. This ensures extra durability and toughness that you can rely on for years to come.

      Professional Installation Recommended. The installation of ring and pinion gears is an intricate procedure, and it’s best to seek a person with mechanical expertise to do the job. Please follow the supplied instructions for best results.

      2-Year Warranty Policy. To ensure your satisfaction, the Nitro Gear & Axle Dana 44 Front Ring Gear and Pinion Kit comes with a 2-year warranty that protects against defects and starts on the first purchase date. You may check the manufacturer’s website to see their full terms and conditions.

      Application. The Nitro Gear & Axle Dana 44 Front Ring Gear and Pinion Kit is designed for use on all 2007-2018 Wrangler JK Rubicons.

      Technical Note. Please be reminded that JK Gears are thicker than the usual Dana 44 gears. In fact, they only fit 3.73 and down Dana 44 carriers. Additionally, Wrangler JK gears also have larger ring gear bolts than standard Dana 44 gears. Therefore, the holes on ring gear bolt carriers may need to be drilled to enlarge the hole further.
