Extreme 60 Axle Features
		Extreme 60 high-pinion nodular iron center section is the strongest 60 series casting we offer, with heavier main caps, ARP® main bolts, more reinforcement in critical areas over the already strong Currie 60 center
		Ring gear load bolt (top left) eliminates gear deflection, to dramatically increase torque handling capacity. The load bolt typically sits .002 inch from the ring gear and only touches when extremely high torque loads are applied
		Extreme 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
		Replaceable AR400 hardened steel skid plate resists deformation and gouging to slide over obstacles far better than iron housings or mild steel plates
		High volume flow-thru recirculating oil system keeps pinion bearings bathed in cool oil, reducing operating temperatures and eliminating oil starvation issues
		Large 3.5-inch diameter .375 wall axle tubes (left) are more than three times stronger than the factory 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
Extreme 60 Front 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
		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
		14.25-inch diameter vented rotors and dual-piston calipers provide the increased brake capacity required for stopping large tires
		Warn® premium manual locking hubs are the industry standard for durability and reliability
Extreme 60 Rear Features
		Desert race-inspired heat-treated Chromoly spindles with billet steel full-floating hubs carry the vehicle's weight, eliminating the influence of side loading and impact shock on axle durability. Modified OEM backing plates and parking brake assemblies provide reliable operation with broad availability of serviceable wear items
		Currie 40-spline full-floating chromoly axles are the largest in the industry and provide 1.5x the strength of 35-spline chromoly axles
		13.750-inch vented rotors and OE Jeep Gladiator calipers provide the stopping power with factory pedal feel, while the 8-lug bolt pattern improves reliably with large, heavy tires
		Currie rock-proof nodular iron cover protects expensive internals and adds structural support to the housing's face flange

Notes

ABS Sensors: Axles do not include ABS sensors, the factory sensors from the stock axles must be retained and installed on the Extreme 60 front and rear axle assemblies

Computer Programming: A programmer is required to reset the gear ratio and tire height settings in the vehicle's computer for the proper function of the vehicle's stability control and transmission shift points when larger than stock tires are installed

Brake Upgrade: The big brake kit included with the Extreme 60 uses 14.250-inch rotors and Jeep Gladiator dual-piston calipers in the front and 13.75-inch vented rotors and Gladiator calipers in the rear to provide the stopping power required for large tires

Wheel and Tire Size: For proper brake caliper clearance, 17-inch or larger wheels are required. Wheels must have a 4.9-inch (125 mm) hub bore with a recommended 4.5-inch backspace. The maximum recommended tire size is 42 inches

Overall Width: Axles are offered in widths of 70 or 72 inches between wheel mounting surfaces. Additional width improves the frame and body clearance for large tires and provides additional space for coil-over shocks.

Steering Stabilizer: The Extreme 60 ram assist bracket requires an aftermarket stud-style track bar bolt to accommodate a steering stabilizer. Trac bar bolts are available from FOX Racing P/N 803-02-028 or Synergy Manufacturing P/N 8806-01
