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 | ||
| The ring gear load bolt (top left) eliminates gear deflection, dramatically increasing 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 withstand 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 4.0-inch diameter .375 wall axle tubes are four times stronger than the stock JK 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 | ||
| Exclusive double-splined 300M inner and outer axle shafts, with billet CNC-machined u-joint yokes, provide maximum strength and durability | ||
| 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 vehicle's weight, eliminating the effects of side loading and impact shock on axle durability. | ||
| Currie Performance 40-spline 4340 chromoly 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 to ensure proper clearance for 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
