Basic steps for gear install: http://www.billavista.com/tech/Articles/Gear_Setup_Bible/index.html

Its time to install a new gearset in my 2020 Jeep Gladiator. Around 3 years ago, we installed 5.13 gears which have been a great ratio choice. Unfortunately, on a recent road trip the pinion gear decided to chip and shear off teeth while driving on the highway. This time, i decided to go with Revolution Gear and Axle 5.13 gears after hearing lots of positive reviews.
Re-gear jobs are fairly complicated and meticulous, but with some good knowledge and mechanical skill its not too hard to DIY. In this video we show you how to setup the ring and pinion, check backlash, tooth contact pattern, use of setup bearings, rubicon locker removal, pinion preload and more.
Like i mentioned, there is a major difference between Spicer ADVANTEK gears (2 Cut), and other 5 cut aftermarket gears. The major difference in install is the Backlash Specification. 5 cut aftermarket gears spec backlash around 6-10 thousandths, whereas Advantek (Stock or lower ratio spicer gears) spec around 3-6 thou.
This difference in specs could very well be leading to lots of premature failures if not noticed.
