Thumbs up PRESS RELEASE: Off Road Evolution EVO 44 Magnum Sealed Axle Sleeves



Off Road Evolution is proud to announce the 44 Magnum. This product is designed to increase JK axle housing strength by 30% while incorporating dual seals to prevent debris from entering the axle tubes. Combining these two tried and true technologies will not only increase the strength of your axle housing, but will also help to prevent premature falure of the costly to replace inner axle seals.

• Works on all JK Front Axles (Dana 30 and Dana 44)
• Adds 30% bending strength to axle tubes
• Seals axle tube from debris
• Greasable design

For a limited time only, PreOrder the EVO "44 Magnum" Sealed JK Axle Sleeves for $159.99 with free shipping to the Continental United States. You can also add EVO C2 Gussets with your order for an additional $80.

Awesome! Any idea how much ORE will charge to install these?

After the gussets and this mod the only other thing that concerns me with the stock axle is the ball joints. Are there any plans for a heavy duty ball joint for the JK's?

Nice! Looks like down the road I'll be stuck building the D30 since prices for the factory D44 have gone through the roof, all though this mod will be just as important on the D44.

Yeah. You can't just post a picture and walk away. There's no info on the site. Before we order, we need to know if we can install these ourselves or have to take them to a custom shop for super mad skills.

Evo will you be the vendor for the seals as they need to be replaced or if you can get them over the counter.

It was like pulling teeth yesterday asking the evo rep if they had these, they did say end of the month they were going to provide info on something new, looks like it came early, some of the info at least. Sure we can assume when they logon today these questions will be answered.

Early Assumptions: Drill & slide like the other sleeves, spot weld, end weld the C2 side and insert the axle seals after the welding cools.
