So what about these axle sleeves?
It is totally your business but my lowly opinion is go with the JKS brace not the replacement bracket. It is stronger and also reenforces your upper control arm mount. You will have the same or less cost of install. The brace goes over the stock bracket and the "replacement" does just that (it replaces), your welder will have to cut off the stock bracket and weld on a bracket just like it. Just my 2 cents...

Some info on the sleeves...
The EVO 44 Magnum Sealed Axle Sleeves are designed to increase JK axle housing strength by 30% while incorporating dual seals to prevent debris from entering the axle tubes. Combining these two tried and true technologies will not only increase the strength of your axle housing, but will also help to prevent premature falure of the costly to replace inner axle seals.

• Works on all JK Front Axles (Dana 30 and Dana 44)
• Adds 30% bending strength to axle tubes
• Seals axle tube from debris
• Greasable design

Take a look at this thread.

The red axle seals that JPTwinz posted prevent debri from entering your stock axle tubes. They will not work with EVO's axles tubes as they are already included.
Exactly!

3. JKS Front track bar brace
4. JKS Rear trackbar brace

Getting them from Northridge4x4

I could not ind a single picture of the JKS front track bar brace installed

Does this make sense?

Have not decided upon tire size yet, but here is the forecast:

4.5 RE LA (Purchased)
Raceline 17x9.5 Competition Beadlock RT233 (Purchased)
Toyo Open Country MT's.......35x12.5's or 37x13.5's(waiting to see what looks best on the jeep)

Thanks for the input!!!
I'm having the sleeves, C gussets, front LCA skids, rear rockstars and beefing up the trackbar mounts done tomorrow by ORE. The JKS braces looked really nice but ORE can do a custom brace front and back.
