Notes

• Computer Programming: 2012 and newer vehicles require a computer programmer, such as the AEV ProCal Module, 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
• Differential Carriers: The center section is designed to use standard Dana 44 carriers/lockers (ARB RD117 or Eaton ELocker 19977-010). Not compatible with the factory Rubicon carriers.
• Outer Knuckle Assemblies: The Currie 44 is designed to reuse the complete stock JK outer knuckle assemblies from the ball joints out (knuckles, hubs, disk brake calipers, and rotors)
• Overall Width: Axle width is 65.375 inches (stock JK width) between wheel mounting surfaces
• Tire Size: Recommended maximum 37-inch tire size due to the inherent limitations of the stock brakes, wheel bearings, and axle u-joints
