hi

I want to start building up my front end for 37 inch tires. C-gussets of course. but what about sleeve or truss what should be first?
just looking for pros and cons on truss and sleeves

thanks

 

If you are going to 37's you will need the C-gussets and the sleeve and Trusses are both great to have if you are climbing rocks. If you just do the dirt roads the C-should be enough. I have the TeraFlex sleeves affordable and not to tough to install.

 

Quite a few recent threads are indicating that a truss would be the better option between the two, but takes a little more effort/knowledge to install correctly. Also, do you have any plans for 35sp shafts? Many internal sleeves don't play nice with the larger shafts.

 

good point are you aware of any brand of sleeves that are not compatible with that kind of shafts.

 

Only nitros allow 35 spline... But on a factory 44 35 splines arent true size of all other 35 splines so prolly nit a big deal. Also only rcv makes 35 spline shafts for the factory front 44

 

Search around man, plenty of recent threads on this. Short answer, truss adds considerably more strength than a sleeve

 

Yes, and doesn't limit you on axle choices either.

 

They both have a purpose that overlaps with the other...
I have sleeves and throwing a truss on as well....truss for lateral strength and sleeves for strength for landing on rocks and slamming tubes into stuff...

Both are best for ultimate strength....

 

That's not true, g2 makes one also. But that's not the point of this thread.

 

I'm going with both.. Sleeves are done. Truss is next.
