      Great Kit with excellent instructions, Just be prepared for it to take longer than you think. definitely not for the novice mechanic. follow the break in period and change the gear oil after the first 500 miles, I changed it again after 1500 miles and will do so again when I hit 3000 miles.

      Hard to install but worth it

      The gears made it possible to run big tires on my jeep easily. It was very tedious to install however.

      best gear choice, period

      When it is time to re gear, use quality. Yukon is highly recommended by everyone. It was a no brainer. Yukon is always my choice for gearing needs. Very happy with their product, found the best price here at Extreme Terrain

      Always buy Yukon!

      I jammed 37's on my TJ and even with the rubicon gearing the jeep was driving like I was dragging a house behind it. Sluggish is one word, and it also made me worry about breaking something. This is the third jeep that I have installed Yukon gears and they have yet to let me down! Perfect fit, nice quality, and they work!

      Crush slieve eliminators

      This is the way to go to set backlash. Very simple to use. And beats the heck out of crushing that crush slieve type.

      Only way to go

      Worked perfectly. Only way to go in terms of crush sleeve or not. After having to replace my pinion bearing after not crushing the sleeve enough the first time. These are the thing I'll use.

      2014 Rubicon - Kevin41

      Good- so far

      I hate to do it, but I put 4 stars. The Yukon Gears are good products, but poor packaging and missing 3-4 parts were not ideal. Has a local shop do the installation and it has been good so far- after I got it home and programmed it with flash cal. It was stuck in 3rd gear the whole way home( about 15 miles). I got it home and put the flash cal on it and told it 35-inch tires again and 4.8 gears from 4.10 gears on the stock Rubicon. Now it drives fine and is in sync so far. In the process of doing the 15-mile drives and heat cycling the gears now. Mine is on a 2.5-inch lift and 35's and was good driving for 2 years on 4.10 gears. But like one told me before I got the 4.88's when he has the same Yukon gears on his jeep, it isn't a required upgrade, but it is a good one to have.

      Yukon part# YA D44JKRUB-L

      The axle shaft comes very well packaged in a foam filled box. It is not completely assembled as the stock photo shows on this site. Axle shaft is bare with the tone ring, bearing, and seal packaged separately inside the foam needing to be pressed onto shaft. Wheel studs not included. Build quality appears top notch as expected.

      Good

      Would be 5 stars if it came with hardware. Had a hard time finding chrome bolts, o ended up with cheapies from China (I think). One broke when I was torquing it to 20 foot pounds. Now I temporarily have a 9 bolt Dana 44. Aggravated. Also, I got the matching cover for the front diff, which is definitely made from a heavier gauge steel. Would’ve been nice if they were both as strong.
