Notes
Computer Programming: 2012 and newer vehicles require a computer programmer, such as the AEV ProCal Module to reset the gear ratio and tire height in the vehicle's computer for the proper function of the vehicles stability control and transmission shift points
Brake Components: Does not include rear disk brake rotors or calipers, mounting brackets are designed to reuse the stock rotors and calipers from the vehicle.
Wheel Bolt Pattern: Axles are dual patterns drilled, 5 on 5” with wheel studs installed and 5 on 5 ½” (holes only) to match a Currie 60 front
