Crushed Sleeve Eliminator? Gear Swap

[BlkShelby500]

Hello,
I just ordered parts for a gear swap.
Ford Performance 8.8 " 4.10 gear
Ford 13 - 14 GT500 Pinion Bearing
Ford Performance Ring and Pinon Kit

Anything else I would need? My mechanic asked if I could order a crushed sleeve eliminator or knew of anyone running them? Thoughts? Thank You!

It’s called a crush sleeve eliminator. I’ve set up diffs with and without a crush sleeve.

Never used an eliminator but have heard of people using them and can’t ever see it being an issue.

Just a different way to set up bearing preload using shims instead of a crush sleeve.

For high power builds I would definitely recommend bypassing the crush sleeves and use an ‘eliminator’ or solid spacer. Also, setting it up tight and/or rechecking/retightening after some miles is almost a requirement on these cars.
You will love the 4.10 and drag radial combo on these cars! Drives SO much better all around and def off boost!
Good luck

I always see you recommend the 4.10's and DR's is why I bought them lol!
So what do you recommend on the crush sleeve?
Thanks

No I would have it installed tight with a solid spacer or solid shim. Any hint of whine after break in and aggressive driving I would probably go back inside and retighten everything. Also would recommend any form of brace. That said, you can do it all and still have whine with drag launches.
Still the best choice for a street monster 4.10/DR FTW

I run a solid spacer in my car. Ran one in my last mach 1 also. I wouldn't recommend anything else. Motive has a pretty solid one and that's what I used this go around. To me it makes set up even easier.
