I'm looking to move up to 37s in a year or so once my 35s are done and I want to beef up my stock 30. Will the nitro sleeves be that big of an upgrade to keep the 30 safe. I don't do alot of heavy offloading right now but I def will eventually. It's a DD and I'm kind of trying to build it up slowly with what I can little by little. I know the evo weld ins are good but I don't have a welder and I want something I can do myself. I just want to make sure that the nitro sleeves will actually be worth the money and actually do something

 

I installed them in my Dana 44 and I believe they are worth the time and money. There is no way for me to test how much they added to the strength of the axle. I did weld the ends of the tubes to the axle tube. Not sure if that helped but will keep them from moving and a little added insurance. The thought behind sleeves making your axle tubes stronger makes sense. You won't be able to tell they are in there when driving. I also added EVO gussets to my axle as well. If you are keeping the d30 I would look into gussets and an axle truss if you want 37s. Hope this helps.

 

I have Nitro sleeves. Some believe they're not fully needed as they add only 30% more strength to the axle. Wayalife mentioned he thought they were blown out of proportion as far as being a must have. They don't run sleeves on their Rubicat's D30 on 37's either.

 

We run them,as we wheel hard sometimes.

 

Rubicat doesn't have a D30. It's a Rubicon therefore it has a D44 up front.

 

oops, in any case, no sleeves up front from wayalife... so sorry

 

I got the nitro sleeves in my 30--they're cheap insurance, and an easy install.

 

Id say there worth it by far. Mine went in easy and feel alit better about the axle strength.

 

Any one know if you can run rcv axles with nitro sleeves.

 

I'm sure u can if they are only 27 or 30 spline. I just installed 30 spline rcv's in my rubi the other day and I have the evo magnum sleeves
