The ring and pinion sets that are manufactured by G2 Axle and Gear have been designed for today’s most grueling applications.  They have been engineered to handle tires that are massive as well as engines that are high performance.  These gears have been made with the highest quality materials and using the very latest in technology and the result is a ring and pinion set that is quietly strong.

Now, as far as the Dana 35 axle goes:

This is an axle made for vehicles that is made by the Dana Corp.  Its production began in 1985 which was when Dana bought the axle tooling equipment from American Motors.  When it first began production by AMC in 1962, this axle was called the AMC-15.  Since Dana bought the rights to it, they have upgraded it.  They have also made variations of it…most notably the Independent Front Suspension and the Twin Traction Beam axle for the front.

It is important to remember that when you are going to install a new ring and pinion set, you will also need the installation kit which is sold separately.
