“The new Jeep® Wrangler JL features extensively redesigned Dana axles as a part of its standard equipment package,” said Peter Cirulis, vice president of customer experience, strategy, and product planning for the Dana Aftermarket Group. “However, there are always enthusiasts who want to push the envelope, and these Dana and Spicer upgrades build on our proven, market-tested technology to meet the rigorous demands of off-roading. Whether you are going to a remote fishing spot, or rock-climbing in Moab, Dana has created the upgrades you need to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

For the serious off-roader, the Dana aftermarket upgrades include heavy-duty chromoly axle shaft replacements for the stock units, and a range of AdvanTEK® performance ring and pinion gears so owners can select their optimum ratio. For maximum performance, owners can upgrade the standard Dana axles with the Ultimate Dana 60

  • 35-spline, nickel chromoly steel axle shafts designed for higher torque, larger tires, and off-road punishment;
  • a greatly enhanced carrier with Spicer® performance ring and pinion gearing;
  • massive SPL® 70 u-joints, exclusive to Dana;
