So, after reading up on sleeves, gussets, and rear trust I have a few questions for my own clarification. I am getting ready to re-gear to 5:13s and was going to buy the Evo axle sleeves and c-gussets with the rear truss over black Friday. I have read so many mixed reviews all over that I really don’t know what to believe with the sleeves and c gussets?
I started adding up what I am going to have into a stock Rubi 44 vs. what the PR44 offers. I would rather pay to re-gear once and be done. For those that have gone this route would it be better to sell my current Dana 44 complete with E-Locker, 4.10's, and axles or take the axles and locker out of the stock 44 and move them into the PR44? What does a complete stock D44 even sell for? What E-locker would you guys suggest for the PR44 if I don't transfer the stock over?
Now, whatever direction I go with above can I re-gear the rear later, meaning install the PR44 and then drive the jeep down to the gear shop and have them put 5:13 in a few days later and never put the jeep in 4-wheel drive? I heard the rear Dana 44 is stronger than the front and a truss is all you need, is this true?
Thanks in advance.
