It's all in the gears. Without a link to the wheels, your engine would just spin itself silly. Every link in the driveline is critical to send power where you need it most. Swapping out the gearing gives you control over how that power is used. A ring and pinion installation kit makes the job easier.

Why Change the Gearing on Your Jeep?

Gearing doesn't change the power output from your engine. It just alters the way that power is used. Slowly crawling over rocks is a different experience than blasting down the freeway at high speeds. To move weight over obstacles, you need leverage. Ring gear and pinion kits change the amount of leverage you have at the wheels.


The ring works with the pinion to change the direction of rotation. The two gears mesh together and provide power to the axle from the transmission. The pinion is the input gear, and the ring receives. The more gear teeth in the ring, the more rotations it takes from the engine to send the axles around. A higher gear output ratio compared to the input provides a greater deal of torque and lifting power.

Don't Forget the Installation Kit

Customizing your Jeep is part of the fun. You may already know how to install ring and pinion gears, but that doesn't mean that you are adequately supplied to get the job done. When you've planned to spend time working on a project, little things upset your day.


Running out of Loctite or forgetting gaskets will mean an extra trip to the store for supplies. You could drive your jeep down to pick up what you need, but you already pulled it apart. Make sure have an installation kit with the accessories you need to complete the job before you get started.
