Product Description

The Revolution Gear & Axle 35-2071 Master Install Kit is engineered for the front differential of the Dana 44 (210 mm) axle found in the 2018-24 Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020-24 Jeep Gladiator JT. This comprehensive kit brings together all the essential internal components - premium bearings, preload hardware, shims, seals and ring gear bolts - into one streamlined package to simplify a full front-axle rebuild job.

Whether you're rebuilding after heavy off-road use, upgrading for larger tires or enhanced towing capability, or simply restoring your front differential's longevity, this kit ensures you have all the major internal parts needed. Proper setup of pinion preload, carrier shim adjustment, backlash and gear mesh pattern is crucial for durable, quiet operation.

Installation involves removing the front differential cover or carrier, cleaning the housing, setting correct pinion bearing preload via the included crush sleeve or shim pack, adjusting carrier shims to achieve correct backlash, verifying the gear-mesh pattern, and reinstalling with proper torque on ring gear bolts and final re-sealing. Fitment is confirmed through 2024 for the specified vehicle models; compatibility for 2025 and beyond is unconfirmed at time of listing. Professional installation is strongly recommended for optimal performance and long service life.
