the ten factory axles came with both
I installed the c clips cause I didn't have circlip tool to mess around with the full clips
and was impatient and need my jeep back to driving
I spent 3 days trying to find replacement u joints for the stock shafts only to find out they are discontinued
so I spent the money on the ten factory axles

Is there a reason why you're so determined to sleeve your axle?

I thought you are also running Prorock 60's?
hell, if I can lose the sleeves all the better, spend the money on something else

moby has 60s, rubicat has 44s if i am not mistaken. while it is not damaging i dont believe, sleeving is not totally necessary. eddie is just trying to save you some $

As mentioned, Moby has 60's and Rubicat is still running factory Dana 44's with gussets but no sleeves.
As I always like to point out, there are over 2 million JK's out there and I have personally seen 3 axle housing break and heard of only a dozen others over the last 6 years. Housing breaks are very very rare and the exception, not the rule.
Oh, and yes, just trying to save you some money :yup:
