      Optimized Gear Ratio for Power Delivery. This Nitro Gear & Axle kit upgrades your Sierra’s rear end with a 4.88 gear set, delivering quicker throttle response and enhanced towing capability. The hypoid design ensures smooth operation and even load distribution across gear teeth.

      Installation. This product installs by disassembling the axle carrier, installing the pinion with crush sleeve and bearings, setting pinion preload, mounting the ring gear to the carrier, adjusting backlash, and verifying gear pattern—professional installation with proper tools is recommended.
