I bought the Artec truss for my front Rubicon axle and I want to go ahead and sleeve it at the same time. Any recommendations on sleeves or are one set of sleeves as good as the next?

 

R-SE Bombshell ?

 

That kits great if I wasn't going to use the Artec truss... I don't think it will work with it. I guess I could get just the inner sleeves, but what makes them better than anyone else's?

 

Yeah, probably wouldn't work with the truss. I just like the idea of outer sleeves.

For inner sleeves, I think the decision is more with or without seals than which brand is better. Or maybe thinner nitro vs thicker weld-in, giving the option of a future ARB upgrade. Welded nitros?

 

If you're gonna truss it,you really don't need the sleeves

 

X2. One or the other will do the job

 

If I was going to sleeve I would go with rock slide engineering external sleeves so I could run a 35 spline shaft.

 

There was a post recently (brut4ce, maybe?) talking about trusses giving better protection for up/down forces, like higher speed driving over dips and such, and sleeves giving better protection from low speed smacks into rocks. (I may be off a bit, but I think that was the general gist of it). If your budget allows both, and you have no plans of upgrading to an aftermarket housing, why not do both?

 

Nitro internal sleeves accept 35 spline axles also.
