Nitro Gear's any good?

Does any one every run this brand of gear's. Are they any good? Reliable? Noisey? Crap? or recomend any other brand!

i have only heard good things

i run a pair of nitro shafts and havent had a problem with them. (previously broken stock,yukon and moser)

i have nitro gear 4.88s in my d44 and d60. jeep isnt driveable yet so i dont know how they do. but have heard great things. jeff and the guys from JustDifferentials are good people to deal with :cheers:

I agree Just Differentials is a great place to deal with.

However, I recently bought a set of Nitro D30 4.88s from them and they were defective. They quickly sent out a second set - also defective. Turns out they had a whole batch of bad gears. I'm not sure if it was just the D30 4.88s or if it was more.

This is most likely an isolated incident - and as much as I liked Just Diff. - I went with Yukon gears.

I believe his answer in another thread the other day was that the mounting holes in the ring gear were incorrect. If yours mounted on the carrier, then it's fine.

I have a set of 4.56 Nitro gears in mine, but haven't had a chance to form an opinion on them. I have a rotational knocking sound coming from the front axle area of my XJ that wasn't present until I picked it up from the gear shop, and after having my Jeep back at that shop over the last two weeks, the shop's owner still cannot determine its source. I replaced both axle u-joints, hub units, and rotors, and the sound persists. I believe the next step is going to be having the shop tear into the gear install, as I've pretty much excluded any possible external causes.

Mine were fine, no defects and absolutely no runout in the ring gear. I have not run them yet but will be soon.

I've had good luck with just differeintials.

we are installing a lot of nitro gears with zero issues
