Because when you are an engineer you rely on assumptions and theories, NOT real world experience.

That was not in his mathematical equation. Of course neither was experience.

It's been said plenty of times but I will go ahead and say it again. Of course the sleeves add some strength. The point is, they don't prevent the bending that occurs where the tube hits the housing. So what are you protecting against? A tube failure? They just aren't that common (certainly not common enough to justify spending the money to add sleeves.)
What you assumed was that GCM 2 was just some schmuck shooting his mouth off without any basis for doing so. You were wrong.
:cheesy: So what comes next in the magical workings of science? Observations? Interesting how observations (e.g. real world experiences) are used to disprove assumptions.
Finally, something we agree on. :beer:

Great engineering is the reason I had to trim a small piece from the right front inner fender liner on my '12 JK to tighten the top nut on the shock when I installed my lift :crazyeyes:

There are these phrases like, letting it go, cutting your losses, put it to rest, and STHU.
I haven't commented because I don't know anything about running 40s. Hell, I'm still learning how to turn bolts and run my daily driver to work and back. But I've learned something by reading posts from Eddie, GCM, Overlander, Sharkey and others in this thread. So thanks for the edumacation fellas. :yup:
I honestly don't understand why Ade continues to force his opinion when clearly it's not supported here. I commend him for maybe the first 20 or so posts of the thread when it was still discussion. But at some point the writing is on the wall (another phrase) that this is not a group in agreement. Agree to disagree and move on like you said yourself Ade. No need to keep it going another 125+ posts. You're not making any friends at this point, no matter how right you think you are. So let it go, cut your losses, put it to rest.

Haha, I just had a Total Recall moment and felt the urge to share it...
I didn't have to deal with this installing my budget boost as I had only used shock extensions (my temporary lift) - but when were installing my buddies AEV lift several of the parts needed some impromptu fab work just to get them to fit. Frustrating to say the least but I digress - by the time we got to these front shocks I had pretty much run out of patience and kept bitching at him til' he let me take a sawsall to the liner.
Probably not my best cut since I just recalled this after reading your post - must have been on autopilot at that point as I completely forgot about it.
Not much of a point here except don't drink and wrench... unless it's on your buddies stuff who claimed he bought the best shit on the market.

can we take this thread back to Crossfit and general fitness regiments? :bleh:

After watching you struggle with those 37s last weekend I took you for more of the bodybuilding type. Sort of like our favorite little monkey friend. :cheesy:
