REVIEWS
I installed this Yukon 4.88 kit on my YJ and it’s a whole new beast. I’m running 35s and needed more low-end power—this delivered. Install was smooth and everything fit perfectly.

This Yukon kit gave my Cherokee the torque it was missing. I tow a small trailer and hit trails every weekend—this setup handles both like a champ. Highly recommend!
