From what I've read, most went with the evo gussets. I am in the market for some as well bc I'm getting ready to go to 37's bc I just bought a tow rig. I've been looking at teraflex and evo. I have no experience with them yet though.

EVO because they were the first to recognize the need and come out with a solution. most everyone else's is just a copy and in some cases, a direct copy.

EVO. It was easier and more time and cost effective than fabbing them myself and at the time I don't think there was another option.

Thinking of TeraFlex gussets myself. Solid steel as opposed to stamped.

I just got an evo set and they are thick and sturdy. Plus 60 bones is cheap insurance. Now I just need to get them welded on.

I have the Evo gussets and sleeves (putting them on this weekend). Are you guys running just gussets or both? I plan on doing both while running 35s , light to moderate wheeling.

The FAQ says use gussets with 35s and sleeves are optional.
