The HD60 high-pinion axle for the 2020 and newer Jeep Gladiator truck features heavy-duty brackets and mounts in the stock location for a direct bolt-in fit. The vehicle's factory outer steering and brake components must be transferred to the HD60 to complete the assembly. A high-clearance aftermarket tie rod is required (see notes below). The vehicle's factory driveshaft will require modification or replacement to accommodate the larger 60 series housing and 1350 series u-joint
Currie HD60 Features:
 |
|
HD60 high-pinion nodular iron center section is simply the strongest 60 series casting we offer, with heavier main caps, ARP® main bolts, and additional reinforcement in critical areas
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
HD60 high-pinion radius bottom center section delivers unmatched ground clearance, and improved obstacle slide-over by presenting a smooth curve rather than the sharp leading edge found on other 60 housings |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Replaceable AR400 hardened steel skid plate resists deformation and gouging to slide over obstacles far better than iron housings or mild steel plates |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Large diameter outer pinion bearing (right) is designed for 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 |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Large 3.5 in diameter .375 wall axle tubes (left) are twice as strong as the stock 44 (right) without being overweight or sacrificing ground clearance
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Upper control arm mounts feature rebuildable Johnny Joints® for maximum suspension articulation with unsurpassed durability |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Super strong Currie nodular iron front cover protects expensive internals, adds structural support to the housing's face flange, and locates the driver’s side upper control arm mount |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Lower control arm mounts are one-piece construction with integrated skid plates to help fend off bracket seeking rocks |
| |
|
|
 |

Black satin powder coat finish adds long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion to keep your HD60 looking its best |

Notes
Tie Rod: The HD60 housing requires the use of a high-clearance aftermanket tie rod to prevent tie rod/housing interference at full turn. JL/JT Rubicon compatible High-clearance tie rods are available from Steer Smarts (Yeti XD P/N 78088001)
ABS Sensors: The factory ABS sensors from the stock axle must be retained and installed on the Currie HD 60 housing
Computer Programming: Vehicles require a computer programmer to reset the gear ratio and tire height in the vehicle's computer for the proper function of the vehicles stability control and transmission shift points
Steering Stabilizer: The HD60 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
