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

Product Features:

Currie HD60 High-Pinion

Designed and optimized using computer simulation, the HD60 is reinforced in critical areas with thicker walls and heavier webbing to deliver maximum strength, durability, and rigidity

Radius Center Section

HD60 radius bottom center section with replaceable AR400 skid plate delivers unmatched ground clearance, and improved obstacle slide-over

HD60 Gear Strength

Gear diameter equals strength - the HD60's 9.75" gear (right) provides greater torque and load handling capacity when compared to the stock 8.26" gear (left)

Larger Pinion Bearing

Large diameter outer pinion bearing (right) is designed for the demands of reverse rotation/high pinion housings. Stock low pinion bearing (left)

Pinion Oiling

High volume flow-thru recirculating oil system keeps pinion bearings bathed in cool oil, reducing operating temperatures and eliminating oil starvation issues

Tube Strength

Large 3.5 in. diameter .375 wall axle tubes (left) are more than 3x the strength of the stock tubes (right) without being overweight or sacrificing ground clearance

Geometry

Front axle steering geometry is optimized for lifted vehicles and large tires, featuring 5° of caster and 5° of pinion angle

Pinion Yoke

The upgraded 1350 pinion yoke provides increased strength and reliability over the failure-prone factory CV Joint

1-Ton Axle U-Joints

HD60 chromoly axles feature larger 1480 series 1-ton u-joints (right) that are 146% stronger than the stock 1350 u-joint (left) for unmatched end-to-end strength

Differential Cover

Currie rock-proof 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

Control Arm Mounts

Lower control arm mounts are one-piece construction with integrated skid plates to help fend off bracket-seeking rocks

Powder Coat Finish

UV Stable Satin black powder coat finish adds long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion to keep your Currie HD60 looking its best

Notes

Front Axle Disconnect (FAD): This axle assembly eliminates the factory FAD and requires a computer programmer, such as the Tazer Mini or Tazer Lite, to disable the factory sensor and turn off the FAD warning message.

Tie Rod - The HD60 housing requires a high-clearance aftermarket 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

Driveshaft - A replacement driveshaft compatible with the larger 60 housing and 1350 yoke is required. Spicer PN 10097841 is recommended (verify manufacturer vehicle fitment)

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 vehicle's stability control and transmission shift points

Steering Stabilizer - The HD60 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
