The factory driveshaft will require modification or replacement to accommodate the larger 60-series housing and 1350-series u-joint.

Product Features:

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

Gear diameter equals strength - the HD60's 9.75" gear (right) provides greater torque and load handling capacity when compared to the stock 8.66" gear (left)

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

40-spline chromoly semi-floating axles (right) are 1.5x the strength of 35-spline axles and are more than 2.5x the strength of the stock JT axle (left)

Massive Set 80 axle bearings (right) have a greater load-carrying capacity and enable increased axle diameter through the bearing for greater strength and durability compared to the stock rear axle's Set 10 bearings (left)

Axles feature the factory 5x5 wheel bolt pattern so that you can keep those nice wheels

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

Currie heavy-duty laser cut brackets provide increased strength and maintain compatibility with stock and aftermarket suspension components

Currie rock-proof nodular iron cover protects expensive internals and adds structural support to the housing's face flange

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

Notes

ABS Sensors- 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 PN10113217is recommended (verify manufacturer vehicle fitment)

Brake Components -Retains the stock rear disk brake rotors or calipers; mounting brackets are designed to reuse the stock factory brake components from the vehicle.
