Default Teraflex or EVO Sleeves?

I posted on while back on a write up and Eddie showed me a link to installing the EVOS. Great vid but now I'm torn between Tera's or Evo's and here's why.

Evo's have the seals which may hold in dirt and debris. The tera's are open so debris will exit tube. And how about the gussets. Tera's or Evo's?

Just looking for people that are running either setup and the pros and cons. Pulling trigger soon so thanks in advanced guys,

Jason

I went w/the EVOs & C gussetts. I find it more likely the seals would keep debris OUT & not in.

I also went with EVOs gussets and sleeves. Those seals defanitely keep debris out as they are snug if you give them a shot of grease once in awhile. The EVO gussets seem stronger than the Teras, but who knows?

I went with the EVO's, install was easy. Didn't even have to pull the axle.

A guy I know installed the Teraflex sleeves, apparently it was pretty tough getting them in. Picture a big guy standing on a step ladder, with the axle on end, hammering the sleeve in with a 10lb sledge and a chunk of 2x4

I plan on going with the evo sleeves and gussets. I see many people using them. And also evo makes outstanding products.

Sounds to me that the axle was bent defore the install. They should slide right in.

If you put the sleeve in the freezer overnight before it goes in easier.
