The Currie HD60 rear axle assembly for the 2018 and newer Jeep Wrangler JL is the perfect upgrade for off-road enthusiasts or overlanders seeking enhanced strength and durability. The HD60 rear features our massively reinforced 60-series center section, large 3.5-inch diameter axle tubes, and 40-spline axles that greatly upgrade strength and reliability beyond the stock Wrangle rear axle assembly. Additionally, the HD60 retains the powerful factory rear brakes and the factory wheel bolt pattern so that you can keep those nice wheels.
