Ring and Pinion Gear Set, 4.56 Ratio, 26 Spline

The USA Standard Gear ZG D44-456T is a replacement ring and pinion gear set engineered to exceed OEM specifications for Dana Spicer 44 axles. This set provides a 4.56 gear ratio, essential for optimizing tire performance after modifications like larger tires or engine upgrades. Key specifications include a 26-spline count, 10 ring gear bolts, and an 8.50" ring gear diameter. The 'thick' designation indicates it's designed for carriers that accommodate ratios of 3.73 and numerically lower, ensuring proper gear mesh and durability. USA Standard Gear ensures all sets undergo rigorous in-house quality evaluations for dimensional accuracy, material integrity, and fitment. This ring and pinion set is specifically designed for standard rotation Dana Spicer 44 differentials. While the product page does not explicitly list vehicle fitment beyond general Dana 44 compatibility, it is commonly associated with Jeep Cherokee XJ models from 1986-1993, as indicated by retailer listings. Buyers should always verify compatibility with their specific axle configuration.
