The HD60 high-pinion axle for the 2018 and newer Jeep Wrangler JL features heavy-duty brackets and mounts in the stock location for a direct bolt-in fit. The vehicle's factory outer steering and brake components must be transferred to the HD60 to complete the assembly. A high-clearance aftermarket tie rod is required (see notes below). The vehicle's factory driveshaft will require modification or replacement to accommodate the larger 60 series housing and 1350 series u-joint

Currie HD60 Features:

		HD60 high-pinion nodular iron center section is simply the strongest 60 series casting we offer, with heavier main caps, ARP® main bolts, and additional reinforcement in critical areas
		HD60 high-pinion radius bottom center section delivers unmatched ground clearance, and improved obstacle slide-over by presenting a smooth curve rather than the sharp leading 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
		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 3.5 in diameter .375 wall axle tubes (left) are twice as strong as the factory tubes without being overweight or sacrificing ground clearance
		Upper control arm mounts feature rebuildable Johnny Joints® for maximum suspension articulation with unsurpassed durability
		Super strong 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
		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 HD60 looking its best

NOTES:

Tie Rod: The HD60 housing requires the use of a high-clearance aftermanket tie rod to prevent tie rod/housing interference at full turn. JL Rubicon/JT compatible high-clearance tie rods are available from Steer Smarts (Yeti XD P/N 78088001)

ABS Sensors: This does not include ABS sensors, the factory sensors from the stock axle must be retained and installed on the Currie housing

Computer Programming: Vehicles require a computer programmer 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

Steering Stabilizer: The HD60 Ram assist bracket requires an aftermarket stud style trac 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
