Sleeve recommendations
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?

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?

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?
