Searched and haven't found him.

But everyone says go with Benson, may I ask why? Is it because of the open deck? Cause I know AEBS is closed deck, and some people say since the motors are open already they should stay that way. Thanks

You could save some money by just having RLZ do the whole shebang. Their work is top-notch, so its not like you will be compromising anything.

How can I get ahold of RLZ? And what sleeves do they do?

I don't understand the second part of your question. Are you asking what brand of sleeves they use, or what motors they sleeve? I believe they use Darton, and they will sleeve most motors.

Ok I aint asking what brand someone told me it was AEBS. I am asking why so many people like benson sleeves. Is it becuase of there open deck design, cause AEBS sleeves I know are closed deck. So am I still confusing you? Thanks

If you look at my post, I was only addressing your first two questions about RLZ.

But if you really want an answer to the Benson question; you won't really find much of an advantage between the different kinds of sleeves. If someone prefers one place over another, it is usually because of the service or the quality of the installation. The installation, not the sleeve itself is usually what makes or breaks a sleeved block.

Which is why they aren't a fully closed deck. Go on their website and read their literature.
