The HD60 high-pinion axle for the 2018 and newer Jeep Wrangler JL 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

Notes
Tie Rod - The HD60 housing requires a high-clearance aftermarket tie rod to prevent tie rod/housing interference at full turn. JL Rubicon/JT compatible high-clearance tie rods are available from Steer Smarts (Yeti XD P/N 78088001)
ABS Sensors - This does not include ABS sensors, the factory sensors from 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 PN 10097841 is recommended (verify manufacturer vehicle fitment)
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 track 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
