Description
The Currie® 60 high pinion front axle includes a long list of exclusive features and innovation that make it the clear choice for serious off-road adventure. The Currie 60 is built around our high pinion, radius bottom center section, that's designed to slide over obstacles with ease and with its thick reinforced center section, forged knuckles, large-diameter tubes, and full 35-spline axles, the Currie 60 delivers superior strength for years of dependable service
The Currie 60 high pinion front crate axle for the 2007 and newer Jeep JK Wrangler, is a complete bolt-in axle assembly with all required brackets and mounts in place. The vehicles factory driveshaft will require modification or replacement to accommodate the larger 60 series housing and 1350 series u-joint.
Built to the legendary Currie Standard with exclusive features including:
 | The Currie 60 high-pinion radius bottom center section delivers unmatched ground clearance, and improved obstacle slide-over by presenting a smooth curve rather than the sharp edge found on other 60 housings | |
 | Integrated AR400 hardened steel skid plate resists deformation and gouging to slide over obstacles far better than iron housings or mild steel plates | |
 | Large diameter outer pinion bearing (right) is designed for the demands of reverse rotation/high pinion housings. Stock low pinion bearing (left) | |
 | High volume flow-thru recirculating oil system keeps pinion bearings bathed in cool oil, reducing operating temperatures and eliminating oil starvation issues | |
 | Large 3-inch diameter .375” thick wall axle tubes (left) are more than twice as strong as the stock Dana® 44 (right) without sacrificing ground clearance or being overweight | |
 | Massive forged 1-ton inner knuckles (right) are designed to stand up to the severe punishment of larger tires without flinching. Stock JK (left) | |
 | Upper control arm mounts feature rebuildable Johnny Joints® for maximum suspension articulation with unsurpassed durability | |
 | Rock-proof Currie nodular iron front cover protects expensive internals, adds structural support to the housing's face flange and locates the driver’s side upper control arm mount | |
 | Big 13.250 inch diameter vented rotors (+1.3 inches larger than stock) provide the increased brake torque required for stopping large tires | |
 | Lower control arm mounts are one-piece construction with integrated skid plates to help fend off bracket seeking rocks | |
 | Black satin powder coat finish adds long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion to keep your Currie 60 looking its best |
Notes
ABS Sensors - Does not include ABS sensors, the factory sensors from the stock axle must be retained and installed on the Currie housing
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 proper function of the vehicles stability control and transmission shift points
Brake Calipers: Does not include front disk brake calipers, mounting brackets are designed to reuse the stock calipers from the vehicle with the included 13.25-inch big brake rotors
Wheel Bolt Pattern: Requires wheels with 5 on 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern
Wheel Studs: Includes 1/2 inch wheel studs
Wheel and Tire Size - 17-inch or larger wheels are required for proper clearance of the brake calipers.
Overall Width: Axle width is 68.750 inches (+3.375 inches over stock) between wheel mounting surfaces. Additional width improves turning angle with 37-inch and larger tires
