Currie F9 Axle Features
| ||
American-made housing features a high-strength fabricated A715 alloy steel center section with internal tube gussets, and a thick CNC machined face flange all joined together with strong, attractive welds. Center is 50 lbs lighter than a 60 series cast center with an iron cover | ||
Currie nodular iron 3rd. member set up with ARB Air Locker, big bearing pinion support, and 1350 yoke for the utmost strength and reliability | ||
Large 3.5-inch diameter .375 wall axle tubes (left) are three times stronger than the stock JK Dana® 44 (right) without being overweight or sacrificing ground clearance | ||
Black satin powder coat finish adds long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion to keep your Currie Extreme 60 looking its best | ||
F9 Front Axle Features
| ||
Front axle steering geometry is optimized for large tires and lifted vehicles with increased caster and pinion angles | ||
The included heavy-duty tie rod features a 1.375 in. OD x .375 wall heat-treated chromoly tube and 1-ton forged rod ends that are designed to withstand off-road abuse and large tires | ||
Massive forged 1-ton inner knuckles (right) are designed to stand up to the severe punishment and large tires without flinching. | ||

F9 Rear Axle Features
| ||
Desert race-inspired 2-inch heat-treated chromoly spindles and billet steel full-floating hubs carry the weight of the vehicle, eliminating the influence of side loading and impact shock on axle durability. Safety is improved as the wheel and brake remain in place and fully functional in the rare event of an axle failure | ||

NOTES:
ABS Sensors - Does not include ABS sensors, the factory sensors from the stock axle must be retained and installed on the Extreme 60 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 the proper function of the vehicles stability control and transmission shift points
Brake Upgrade: The big brake kit included with the Currie F9 includes 13-inch rotors with dual-piston calipers to provide the stopping power required for 37-inch and larger tires
Wheel and Tire Size: 17-inch or larger wheels are required for proper clearance of the brake calipers. The maximum recommended tire size is 40-inches
Overall Width: Axle width is 70-inches between wheel mounting surfaces. Additional width improves turning angle with 37-inch and larger tires
Steering Stabilizer: Ram assist brackets are not compatible with and exclude the use of the factory steering stabilizer
