The Currie 60 axles feature more substantial construction and a much larger 40-spline (1.70-inch diameter) axles and "Set 80" bearings.

However, when you start modifying your Jeep with larger tires and more gear, the axles and bearings can become weak links. The 44's 30-spline (1.3-inch diameter) axle shafts, and relatively small "Set 10" axle bearings, are adequate for a moderately-driven trail Jeep with stock-sized tires. However, the strength differences go beyond the much talked about details of the center section, axle tubes, and gear size and extend to the less visible larger diameter axle shafts and axle bearings.
