Rear axle tube sleves???

Does anyone make these? I know EVO and a few other compaines make them for the front, but what about the rear? Like how WOL rear 44 was bent. it seems like a good idea to me...

He was running 40s on it when it happened. Maybe it happened when he was on 37s, but definitely got worse with the 40s.

Due to the nature of the beast, I don't think an inner sleeve would work on the rear. It seems like the bearings and seals would get in the way. You'd be better off welding on an outer gussett setup. Haven't heard of anyone selling those though.

Planman is (once again) correct.

If you are worried about axle tube strength in the rear, then just truss it. Easy solution.

Planman, don't you get tired of being right so bloody often?

You're right. If she's married to you, she will have a hard time to believe that you were right about something. She'll just assume that I have no idea what I'm talking about or that you once bought me beer.
