Sure, don’t bother.I'm planning on going to RCV for the front axle, and would like to sleeve at the same time. I'm having issues finding sleeves that say they work with RCVs. Has anybody done it, or can give me some pointers in the right direction?

I wouldn’t bother with sleeves, if you’re concerned, I’d truss it before sleeving. Even if you find some, most of the time they’re so tight that if your axle tubes aren’t perfect, I mean even thousands of an inch, you’re gonna play hell getting them in all the way, and if you don’t, you’ll have to cut them off and truss it anyway.......just saying.......I'm planning on going to RCV for the front axle, and would like to sleeve at the same time.

you're WAAAAY off base here.2. - By the time you spend all the coin beefing up your stock axle you probably would be close to or same cost as a D60 Full Float axle with manual locking hubs which will be astronomically stronger than a beefed up D44 - and full float which in of itself makes it a worthwhile upgrade over beefing up the stock units.
I'll be doing a FAD delete.you are not going to find sleeve kits for the front axle in a JL mainly because of the FAD is in the way, and the other reason you dont see them is they didnt use the think axle tube wall that they used on the JK, the JL has a more beefier axle housing tube than the JK so it is not really neaded.
The big weak point on the front is the fad housing and the best way to beef that up is with a good truss
The fad delete removes the fad actuator but the casting for the fad remains and the seals in the castingI'll be doing a FAD delete.
