Revolution Gear & Axle

What Revolution Gear & Axle does

Revolution Gear & Axle is a privately held U.S. aftermarket drivetrain parts retailer and manufacturer, founded in 2012 and headquartered in South Elgin, Illinois, with a secondary office in Santa Fe Springs, California. The company sells ring and pinions, gear packages, axle kits, differentials, driveshafts, bearing installation kits, differential covers, and proprietary GL-6 gear oil, alongside authorized distribution of Dana Spicer crate axles and traction products from Eaton, ARB, and OX Offroad. Products are manufactured using precision heat treatment to OEM specifications and REM Surface Finishing, with chromoly steel used in the Discovery Series axle line.

The business operates primarily through a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront on BigCommerce, supplemented by a B2B dealer application program and toll-free phone sales. Pricing ranges from approximately $19 per quart of gear oil to $9,979 for Dana 60 crate axles, with free freight on orders over $100 and Buy Now, Pay Later payment options offered. Marketing relies on organic content (Knowledge Center with gear ratio and RPM calculators), blog posts, and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter). The customer base is distributed across off-road enthusiasts, primarily Jeep Wrangler owners (JK, JL, JT, TJ), Toyota Tacoma owners, Ford Super Duty owners, and a dealer/installer network, with no disclosed enterprise or large-account concentration.

The company is veteran-owned and emphasizes warranty-backed durability — including 2-year coverage on ring and pinion sets, 10-year on Discovery Series axle kits, and limited lifetime on the USA Made axle kit line. Revenue, headcount trends, funding history, and ownership details beyond veteran status are not publicly disclosed.
