Teraflex Low Range Kit for Model 300 Transfer Kit


Teraflex has made this low range conversion kit for the transfer case.  Lower gear ratios – even though they have higher numbers – are critical when it comes to the ultimate off road performance.  When you lower your gear ratios, you can get your rig to travel slower.  This is often called crawling.  You can also get your rig to be able to climb over any obstacles without the necessity of relying heavily on the throttle.  While your gas pedal might be able to get you over those obstacles, you can also break parts of your engine in the process.  Ask any off road warrior and they will affirm that low gears are critical for any off road rig. 

Until recently, getting these lower gear ranges was only able to be achieved by switching the ratios of the ring and pinions or even by swapping your transfer cases or transmission.  While the lower ring and pinion work ok off road the drivability on the highway is sacrificed due to the higher rpm of the engine.  This can lead to excessive wear on your engine as well as to a decrease in your fuel economy.  While complete transfer case and transmission swaps also work they can be extremely expensive and there is also a laundry list of other modifications that will have to be made in the process.
