      Best choice for your axles

      Always use the best quality when re gearing or repairing. Best bearings and seals available, Yukon is always my choice.

      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.

      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.

      Works Good

      I for one prefer this over the crush sleeve if you've ever over tightened one... :(

      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.
