Options To Complete The Build

		Gear Cases - Select from a range of gear cases in nodular iron or aluminum to match the performance and weight requirements of your build
		Gear Ratio - Select from a wide variety of ratios, Currie uses only the highest quality Motive Gear Performance® series (Orange box) ring and pinion sets in our 9-inch rearends
		Differential - Select the differential type that meets your traction needs, including, helical gear or clutch-style limited-slip, automatic locking differential or steel spool
		Brake Package - Select from a range of brake options from classic 11-inch drums to 14-inch Baer and Wilwood disk brakes that are capable of meeting any performance requirement
		REM® Isotropic Polishing - Removes surface imperfections created during the gear manufacturing process. Polishing eliminates the need for a break-in period, decreases friction, reduces operating temps, and removes stress risers. This option helps gears last longer and run quieter
		Powder Coat - Optional powder coat finish adds long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion to keep your rearend looking its best

NOTES:

Lubrication Requirements - Ford 9-inch rearends use a high-offset hypoid gear design that requires a severe duty gear oil with API GL-6 rating. Use of oil not meeting the GL-6 rating will damage the gears and bearings and void the Currie Warranty

Aftermarket Brakes - Currie rearends conform to the ABCS (Aftermarket Brake Configuration Standard). This allows brake kits that use this standard to easily be changed or upgraded without having to modify the housing or axles. ABCS brakes use a 2.5-inch brake space with late-model big bearing Ford housing ends and a 2.80 center hole in the drum or rotor

Wheel Studs - Currie rearends use standardized-shank Currie Enterprises wheel studs that allow the following wheel studs to be interchangeable in the axles, without drilling: 12mm, 7/16, 1/2, and 1/2 x 3-inch competition
