Default oversized pistons and sleeving both necessary?

I am going to get some low compression pistons for my d series (65k on the motor)
so far, no real issues that i know of that could have damaged the stock sleeves...
if I buy pistons with a .020 over... will the walls be too thin requiring a sleeving?

thanks

if i remember correctly there are people who have ran .020 over on stock d-series sleeves and they were ok. i don't think you wanna go any larger though. of course the question of sleeves ultimately depends on how much you plan to boost, and how safe you want to be.
