Product Description

The Revolution Gear & Axle 35-2052 Master Install Kit is specifically engineered for the rear differential of the Dana 44 axle in the 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon. This kit consolidates all critical rebuild components - premium bearings, preload hardware, shims, seals and ring gear bolts - into one comprehensive package to streamline your rebuild process and ensure correct setup.

If you're upgrading your rear drivetrain for larger tires, high-torque applications, or rebuilding a worn out differential after off-road abuse, this kit addresses the key wear items and rebuild hardware in a single solution. It helps ensure proper pinion preload, correct carrier shim adjustment, gear mesh pattern verification and ring gear bolt torque to ensure quiet, reliable operation.

Installation involves removing the differential cover or carrier, cleaning the housing, setting correct pinion preload using the included crush sleeve or shim pack, adjusting carrier shims for proper backlash, verifying the gear mesh pattern and then securing ring gear bolts and re-sealing the assembly. Fitment is confirmed through 2018 for the Rubicon-trim Wrangler JK rear Dana 44; model years beyond 2018 or other trims must be independently verified. Professional installation is highly recommended for optimal results.
