Package Includes:

(1) Front 8.25" IFS Ring and Pinion Gear Set
(1) Front Master Bearing Install Kit
(1) Rear 8.5" Ring and Pinion Gear Set
(1) Rear Master Bearing Install Kit


- *Note: Rigid Axle's OE Dry 2-Cut is only available for rear 8.5" ring and pinions. The GM 8.25" IFS has a carrier break at 3.23 & numerically lower / 3.42 & numerically higher. That means if you have 3.08-3.23 ratios from the factory, and would like to run 3.42-5.13 ratios, you will need to buy a new carrier. Contact support if you need help figuring out what carrier you have.

- Rigid Axle's OE Dry 2-Cut and aftermarket ring and pinion gear sets are made from heat treated 8620 steel. Our OE Dry 2-Cut ring and pinions are made using a two-cut, face hobbed manufacturing process. The advantage to running a 2-Cut gear is how quiet they operate. If you want a guaranteed quiet gear, upgrade to our Dry 2-Cut gear set! When these gears are set up properly and rolled with gear marking compound, the pattern will show up slanted. Our aftermarket gear set is made using a five-cut, face milled manufacturing process. Once set up correctly, this will give a square contact pattern on the drive and coast side of each tooth. We are proud of our ring and pinion lines, and you will be too!

- Remember to properly break in your new gear set! Click here for instructions!

Great price for a great product
Color: Coal Black
Excellent quality and great price to boot. Easy to assemble and folds up easily to be stored. We are using it as a privacy screen when we have company that needs to sleep on the couch and also to block off a hallway leading to a guest suite. It looks great and is as described in the ad

No.
Color: Coal Black, Color: Coal Black
This was horribly made and a nightmare to put together. You have to basically bend the bars to get the coverings attached. The sizes don't match. The stickers that label the parts are impossible to remove and if you do get them off theres a lot of residue left behind. On top of that once it was put together I noticed theres a big dirty foot print on it which is definitely not mine.

You have to add weight to it
Color: Coal Black
It does its job and it was easy to put together but it's a little on the flimsy side and it will easily be knocked down. So you're going to have to figure out a way to make the legs heavier? I used cinder blocks, single cinder blocks and it works just fine. Just know that it will knock over super easy

I have 2!
Color: Coal Black
My office is in my loft. But there are things along the wall I don’t want to look at. These work great. Hides what I don’t want to see & is a classy look in the room. Sturdy, easy to assemble, well made.
