Gear install kits

Ring and pinion installation kits and bearing kits for Dana 30, Dana 35 and Dana 44 axles, including the Jeep Wrangler JL axles (M186, M200, M210, M220) and Rubicon versions. Kits from Revolution Gear (some with Timken bearings), G2, Nitro Gear & Axle, Rough Country and Spicer, plus carrier bearing and shim kits.

Matching the kit to your axle

An installation kit goes in with a new ring and pinion set or during an axle rebuild. It holds the bearings, shims and seals needed to set the gear mesh correctly. What matters most is identifying the axle exactly: front or rear, standard or high-pinion Dana 30, standard or Rubicon Dana 44. Bearings and shims for different axle versions are not interchangeable. Setting backlash and the contact pattern takes experience and the right tools. Gears and lockers are in Lockers & differentials, and complete axles in Axle assemblies.
