Description
The Currie HD60 Low Pinion Rear Axle is a direct bolt-in upgrade for Jeep Gladiator owners who demand increased strength, durability, and reliability without sacrificing daily drivability. Designed for multi-use commuters, overlanders, tow rigs, and off-road builds, the LP60 delivers a significant performance upgrade over the factory rear axle while maintaining excellent road manners.
Built around low-pinion Dana 60–based gearing, the HD60 features massive 3.5-inch diameter axle tubes and 40-spline axle shafts, providing a dramatic increase in load capacity and long-term durability—ideal for larger tires, added vehicle weight, and towing duties. Despite its heavy-duty construction, the HD60 retains the factory Jeep Gladiator wheel bolt pattern, allowing you to continue running your existing wheels.
Designed as a true bolt-in assembly for 2020+ Jeep Gladiator JT models, the Currie HD60 includes all necessary brackets and mounts pre-installed. Factory rear brakes are retained and transferred to the new axle, simplifying installation and maintaining OEM brake performance. Due to the larger housing and 1350-series U-joint, the factory driveshaft will require modification or replacement to complete the upgrade. CLICK HERE FOR DRIVESHAFT OPTION
