Ok all you Duramax guys, we are making our own sleeves, they are made if high grade SS
and are going to be two sided to improve wrench grip and to prevent rounding. They are going to be 1" in diameter and possibly going to 1" 1/8 in the future to improve strength, we should have the first set on the company truck to day and will take pictures and post them up. These are our own design based on what we have seen in the past but will made at some what of a higher quality, SS baby!!!, how does it get any better. These are not just somebodys product that we are selling we have teamed up with a friend of ours who works in a machine shop and came up with a good solid design that we think will last and be strong forever. Pricing will $100.00 shipped to your door - |

ok i got some pics but im gonna wait and post them until they are finalized, we put a set on Gmclbz's truck to day and we believe we can get some more strength by making them about an inch longer to get to the shoulder on the rod itself toward the joint on the truck. We believe this will add strength to them all the way. These things have a way better finish than what currently out there, and the two slot design is much stronger than the four sided currently out there.
If anyone wants to pre order a set we should have a few ready toward the end of next week, cost might increase just a tad but we haven't set on the increase yet, so currently its still $100.00 shipped. DD - |

Okay guys, due to the new material being used the sleeves are now going to be $110 + shipping. This is still a great deal. The quality is going to be really nice also. We are taking preorders if anyone is interested.

Here are some pics of the new ones vs. the old ones. The new ones are made from 1/8" larger material and are an inch longer than our first design. Please let us know what you think. If you are interested please pm us for details.

We haven't tried the new ones yet but Chad and I did test out the old ones......
Lets just say we had fun and those worked so these are going to be even better. We should have a chance by this weekend to get them on. The length is going to make it tough to adjust tie rods but that is much better than a broken one. |

Well when they are pointing opposite directions, then its hard to adjust!!!!
