Sterling 10.5" / 10.25" Shave Kit 
With 4140 Hardened Bolt Protector
Welded 3/8" and 1/4" Steel
 

It's finally here, the ultimate Sterling 10.5" axle upgrade. Kit has been tested, perfected and is now offered with the HARDENED bolt protector block, machined from 4140 Chromoly and then heat treated and zinc plated.

The Sterling Shave kit allows for 5.3" of clearance from the bottom of the axle tube after removing almost 1.5 inches of casting material. This is equal to buying 3" larger diameter tires without the added rotational mass and larger additional expense. 
 
Large 4140 Billet Bolt Protector plate provides protection against rocks while the laser cut from 3/8" and 1/4" plate steel cover adds the much needed protection against rocks. Steel plate is CNC press formed with 15 different bends to create a geometrically strong cover. The CNC bent cover is then welded inside and out, then CNC machined flat and holes machined for a great fit.

VERY IMPORTANT - This modification will require professional level welding by a person qualified to weld cast ductile iron / Nodular iron. The sterling casting is NOT STEEL and CANNOT be welded by conventional means.

Kit works great, fit ad finish is also great. Not a fan of machining the house though. To much of a mess. LOL

Sterling 10.5" shave kit

Guys are you tired of dragging that big anchor behind you? And want to gain 2 inches of clearance without spending big money on I'm bigger tires and regarding your axles. Ballistic fabrication has the right solution for your rear end. Soon as we found out that ballistic has this option we bought 3 kits for all our vehicles. We highly recommend this kit..
