For the most part, the only effective way to run really big and wide tires on a Jeep JK Wrangler is to have them mounted on wheels with very little back spacing. Of course, it's practically a necessity when you're running something like an EVO Double Throw Down coil over system and while they may get the job done, they're far from a perfect solution and not without their consequences. Certainly, the more you offset the center line of your wheels, the more stress you put on things like your ball joints, wheel bearings and even tie-rod and this is to say nothing about how they'll effect your ability to steer. It's because of these issues that Dynatrac decided to challenge what we've all come to accept as normal and design a better solution using their awesome XD60 front axle. As luck would have it, Cindy and I would get a chance to help them out and with the assistance of Rubicat.

In this video, you'll get a detailed look at the design, development and building of a 72.5" Dynatrac XD60 front axle complete with PRO 1550 steering knuckles, setup to be run with an EVO DTD coil over system and optimized for Trail Ready beadlock wheels that have 5.5" of back spacing. If I could guess, this will be the direction of things to come with the all new Jeep JL Wrangler and we hope that you'll find this video to be educational.

Is this indicating Dynatrac will likely be building this axle for the JL as well? :wings:

I finally got around to watching this. It was very interesting to see all the detail and strength designed into this axle. Of course, the old 60 was strong, but this looks to be on another level. Very nice & informative video. Thanks Eddie & Cindy! Dynatrac...well done!

Saw your pics of Moab over on Wayalife. Looks like it was a killer time, and looks like the axle did awesome.. as expected!

Oh yeah, the overall width of the axle is exactly the same as before but the clearance benefits and outstanding steering is what really makes it awesome!
