Currie 70 Platinum Edition - High-Pinion Jeep Wrangler JK Axle Set

The Currie 70 Platinum axle set for the 2007 thru 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, are complete bolt-in axle assemblies with all required brackets and mounts in place. The vehicle's factory driveshafts will require modification or replacement to accommodate the larger 70 series housing and 1350 series u-joints

Currie 70 Platinum Axle Features

		Currie 70 high-pinion nodular iron center section is competition proven, and the strongest casting we offer, with heavy main caps, ARP® main bolts, and thicker walls and webbing in critical areas
		Ring gear load bolt (top left) eliminates gear deflection to dramatically increase torque handling capacity. The load bolt typically sits .002 inches from the ring gear and only touches when extremely high torque loads are applied
		Currie's competition-grade 10.5 in. gears (left) are cut from super-tough 9310 alloy custom heat-treated to a precise hardness and then REM polished, creating gears that can stand up to both the high shock loads of extreme off-road use and the wear of high mileage street use. Standard 60 gear (right)
		Massive custom 35-spline pinion shaft (right), provides increased strength and reliability over the standard 29-spline unit (left)
		Currie 70 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 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 front axle tubes (left) are three times stronger than the stock front, while the rear chromoly 4.0-inch diameter .250 wall axle tubes are more than twice as strong as the stock JL AdvanTEK® 44
		The gloss black powder coat finish adds long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion to keep your Currie 70 looking its best
Currie 70 Platinum Front Axle
		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 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 severe punishment and large tires without flinching
		Rock-proof Currie nodular iron front cover (Shown in red) protects expensive internals, adds structural support to the housing's face flange, and locates the driver’s side upper control arm mount
		Big brakes: 14.250-inch vented front rotors and Jeep Gladiator calipers provide the increased brake capacity required to stop large tires.
		Warn®premium manual locking hubs are the industry standard for durability and reliability
Currie 70 Platinum Rear Axle
		Full-floating hubs carry the weight of the vehicle, eliminating the influence of side loading and impact shock on axle durability.
		Currie Performance 40-spline full-floating axles are machined in-house and then heat-treated to exacting standards to provide unmatched strength and durability
		Big brake 14 in. vented rear rotors and Gladiator calipers increase stopping power and are a perfect match for big tires
		Rock-proof Currie nodular iron cover protects expensive internals and adds structural support to the housing's face flange for increased rigidity

Notes

ABS Sensors: Does not include ABS sensors; the factory sensors from the stock axle must be retained and installed on the Currie 70 housing

Brake Upgrade: The big brake kit included with the Platinum 70 features 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. The Mopar Performance master cylinder and booster (PN P5160050) is recommended to achieve the best possible brake performance

Computer Programming: Newer vehicles require a programmer to reset the gear ratio and tire height in the vehicle's computer to ensure proper functionality of the vehicle stability control and transmission shift points

Wheel and Tire Size: 17-inch or larger wheels are required for proper clearance of the brake calipers. 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: Axle width is 70 inches (+2 over stock) or 72.5 (+4.5 over stock)

Steering Stabilizer: The Currie 70 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
