Product Description

The Revolution Gear & Axle 35-2049 Master Install Kit is engineered for rear-axle rebuilds on vehicles equipped with the Dana 35 differential. By packaging the key internal components - premium bearings, crush sleeve or preload shim pack, heavy-duty hardware and installation shims - this kit streamlines what is typically a complex gear-set overhaul job.

Whether you're restoring a classic Jeep YJ, rebuilding a Comanche MJ, or upgrading a Cherokee XJ for trail use, this kit addresses the critical wear and replaceable parts inside the differential. Everything required to properly set pinion preload, adjust gear backlash and torque down the ring gear bolts is included - saving you from sourcing multiple separate parts.

Correct installation is essential: the housing must be cleaned, pinion preload set (via crush sleeve or shims), carrier shims adjusted for correct backlash, gear mesh pattern verified, and final bolts torqued to specification. This kit is confirmed through model-year 2006 for select Jeep models with Dana 35 rear axles; later model-year compatibility is currently unconfirmed. Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure quiet operation and long life.
