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
Driveshaft: A replacement driveshaft compatible with the larger 60 housing and 1350 yoke is required. Spicer PN 10113216 is recommended (verify manufacturer vehicle fitment)
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 (+4.6 inches over stock) between wheel mounting surfaces. Additional width improves turning angle with 37-inch and larger tires
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
