G2 Axle and Gear Dana 30 Master Installation Kit

When someone re-gears a 4WD vehicle it is generally done in an effort to get more torque out of it.  The additional torque is a necessity for that larger wheel and tire package you might have just added.  Additionally, the more torque you have, the easier it will be to climb those massive hills.

If you main type of driving is done on the highway then you might want to go with lower gear ratios.  While this won’t give you much of a boost in torque, it will give you a better fuel efficiency.  The acceleration that you get will be enough to get you going without sending your eyeballs out through the back of your skull.

On the other hand, if you tow your 4x4 to the trails or just enjoy spinning the tires in the mud then you might want to choose a higher gear ratio.  The con to this one is that the top speed will be one that is limited.

If you are in doubt it is a good idea to go a single ratio higher,  This is because as a rule, we tend to keep adding weight to our rigs which in turn requires additional torque.  And who knows, you might one day want to go with even more massive tires than what you already have.

There is something you need to remember though.  When you go out and buy new pinion and ring gears you will more than likely need to get a new master installation kit for every set.  This is a kit that will include all of the marking compound, ring gear bolts, pinion nuts, crush sleeves, pinion seals and bearings that you will need to complete the installation.

The master installation kits made by G2 Axle and Gear have all of the components that you will need in order to properly install the ring and pinion.  The Master Installation kit even includes those hard to locate components such as the gear marking compound, locktite, silicone sealer, ring gear bolts, carrier bearings, pinion bearings, a pinion seal, crush sleeve, replacement pinion nut and a proper shim kit.  If you ever go into a parts house and ask for these components, 9 times out of 10 they will look at you like you are asking them for a rocket ship.
