[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 15616177, member: 9628"] I was with the guy who set up my 8.8 with a Strange spacer/shim kit replacing the oem crush sleeve. It took a couple of installs/removals with shims added or removed to dial in the gears to where they were before I installed the True-Trac, but overall the spacer/shim set up seemed to go smooth. The only reason I wanted that set up is because there may be a time in the future when I need to remove the pinion flange, maybe a leaking pinion seal? or something else? I wanted the ability to remove my pinion flange as many times as I choose and then torque it back in place at that preset thickness with a new nut and not worry about possibly further crushing the crush sleeve which would then change the gear settings and most likely require a complete start over on setting the gears up. Other than the option of removing my pinion flange multiple times without concern of a crush sleeve changing thickness on the next re-torque, a crush sleeve would have worked fine, but in most cases, they are one time use......unless a person really has a feel for the re-torque of the pinion nut and the crush sleeve collapse. <<I am not that person....
