Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes. How do you change the inner seals with the sleeves in place? Thinking about buying some 2 inch Dom and making my own.

The axle seals press in from inside the diff housing, sleeves won't affect it at all.

It's a second tube pressed inside the existing axle tube, to add strength.

Dan91, Do you think a truss would be more effective?Never thought about the sleeves not adding strenght where the tubes go into the the housing.

Well, it seems to me that the weak point would be the joint of the tubes and housing. Most people just do a small truss for their D30s for strength, not many people bother with sleeves from what I've seen.
