Notes
Outer Knuckle Assemblies: The Currie 44 is designed to reuse the complete stock Wrangler outer knuckle assemblies from the ball joints out (knuckles, hubs, disk brake calipers, and rotors)
Overall Width: Axle width is 65.375 inches (stock JK width) between wheel mounting surfaces
Vehicle Lift: If using the factory height suspension or a leveling kit without bump stop spacers, an aftermarket track bar is required to clear the differential cover. The RockJock 4x4 track bar RJ-9120FJKF provides ample clearance.
Tire Size: Recommended maximum 37-inch tire size due to the inherent limitations of the stock brakes, wheel bearings, and axle u-joints
