Product Description

The Revolution Gear & Axle 35-2051 Master Install Kit is specifically engineered for the front Dana 44 axle of the 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon. This kit brings together premium bearings, preload setup hardware, shims and ring gear bolts - everything you need to rebuild the differential portion of the axle properly in one consolidated package.

If you're upgrading your front drivetrain for larger tires, trail use, or replacing worn differential components after heavy service, this kit simplifies the job and helps ensure the rebuild is done correctly. It addresses pinion preload, carrier shim adjustment, backlash and ring gear bolt torque in a streamlined solution.

Installation involves removing the front differential cover or carrier, cleaning the housing, setting the correct pinion preload using the included crush sleeve or shim pack, adjusting the carrier shims for proper backlash and gear mesh pattern, then securing the ring gear bolts and re-sealing the cover. Fitment is confirmed through 2018 for the Rubicon-trim Wrangler JK front Dana 44; model years beyond 2018 and other trims are unconfirmed at time of listing. Professional installation is strongly recommended for optimal results.
