    Description

    Optimize Your Lifted Jeep. Optimize your lifted Wrangler’s performance when you upgrade with the Rough Country Dana 44 Rear Axle Ring and Pinion Gear Kit; 5.13 Gear Ratio. This ring and pinion gear kit features a gear ratio of 5.13, providing lower gearing when compared to stock. This in turn delivers the much-needed power to handle the new suspension geometry and larger tire and wheel combo your lifted Jeep now has. The result is a smoother performance for all your on and off-road adventures.

    Re-Gear for Larger Tires and Wheels. Larger tires and wheels can cause issues with your Jeep, particularly in gearing, simply because your factory ring and pinion gear is designed specifically for your Jeep’s factory wheels and tires. These issues include diminished performance and fuel capacity as well as difficulties with finding the right gear. This kit is designed to provide the lower gearing necessary to improve torque and acceleration while running larger tires and wheels. This way you get to restore factory driving feel and power, both of which can help you perform better both on and off-road.

    Brawny Build Quality. This ring and pinion gear kit is manufactured from 8620 steel using an advanced precision-casting technique for superior durability. The resulting ring and pinion gears are then heat-treated, further improving strength. These components are also machine-finished to exact specifications for reliable performance.

    Professional Installation Recommended. This ring and pinion gear kit is designed to directly replace your Wrangler’s factory counterparts without major modifications to your drivetrain. That said, you will need a complete set of mechanics tools as well as certain specialty tools like a bearing press, bearing puller, dial indicator, and a micrometer. You will also need expert level mechanical knowledge if you want an efficient installation. As such, professional installation is recommended.

    Includes a Limited 10-Year Warranty. This Rough Country ring and pinion gear kit includes a limited 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Please visit the manufacturer’s website for more details.

    Application. The Rough Country Dana 44 Rear Axle Ring and Pinion Gear Kit; 5.13 Gear Ratio fits all 1997 to 2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ models, excluding Rubicons.
