60 high-pinion axle for the Jeep Wrangler TJ is a complete bolt-in axle assembly with all required brackets and mounts in place. The vehicle's factory driveshaft will require modification or replacement to accommodate the larger 60-series housing and 1350 series u-joint.

Product Features:

The Currie high-pinion, high-clearance center section with rotated cover delivers unmatched ground clearance and improved obstacle slide-over by presenting a smooth curve, rather than the sharp edge found on other 60 housings

Rock Slider - Integrated AR400 hardened steel skid plate resists deformation and gouging to slide over obstacles far better than iron housings or mild steel plates

A large outer pinion bearing (right) is designed to meet the demands of reverse rotation/high pinion housings. Stock low pinion bearing (left)

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

Gear diameter equals strength - the Currie 60's 9.75" gear (right) provides greater torque and load handling capacity when compared to the stock 8.66" gear (left)

Large 3 in. diameter x .5 in. wall axle tubes (left) are more than 2.5 times stronger than the stock tubes (right)

Axles feature the factory 5x4.5 wheel bolt pattern so that you can keep those nice wheels

Explorer 11.250-inch disc brakes with internal parking brake provide increased stopping power over the stock TJ drum brakes

The upgraded 1350 pinion yoke provides increased strength and reliability over the factory 1310 yoke

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

Currie rock-proof nodular iron front 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:

Sway Bar: Requires the use of an aftermarket sway bar such as the RockJock Antirock or equivalent.
