Currie 44 Features

|
|
|
|
Currie 44 Low-Pinion center section features 14 lbs of reinforcement over a stock 44 while the low-pinion design maintains the engine clearance of the stock front axle assembly |
|

Large 3-inch diameter .375 wall axle tubes (left) are more than 2.5 x the strength of the stock axle tubes (right) without being overweight
|
|

Currie heavy-duty forged inner knuckles (right) are massively stronger than the stock knuckles (left) and are designed for severe off-road use with up to 37” tall tires |

Currie Performance 4340 chromoly axles with larger 760 series u-joints provide superior end-to-end strength over the OEM carbon steel axle with 260 series u-joints

Notes
Pinion Yoke: The Currie 44 is equipped with a 1310 series pinion yoke for compatibility with the stock driveshaft.
Outer Knuckle Assemblies: The Currie 44 is designed to reuse the complete stock Bronco outer knuckle assemblies from inner "C" out (knuckles, hubs, disk brake calipers, and rotors)
Overall Width: Axle width is 60 inches (+1 in. over stock) between wheel mounting surfaces
Vehicle Lift: Due to variations between model years, a vehicle lift may be required for proper clearance.
Tire Size: Recommended maximum 37-inch tire size due to the inherent limitations of the stock brakes, wheel bearings, and axle u-joints
