Help with dually

Hey guys I figured someone on this site could help me. Its been a year ago that I found a sleeve that goes over the stud on the rear wheel of a dually when putting rims on. It helps keep the two rims aligned. You slide this sleeve on two suds and the put all the lug nuts on with the exception of those 2. Tighten everything down then remove the sleeves and place the last two studs and the rims are aligned on the studs the same. You use this when you don't have centermatic hubs. I found it on a website but I cant seem to find it again. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

I'm not sure what year DRW you have but my 2000 and 2013 both used the hub to alien the rims, I have to apply grease on the hub so the wheel won't stick to the hub because it's that close.

Same with the 2008, use some anti seize between hub and rim, rim to rim or it's a real PITA to get them off. Make sure to off set the valve stem so you can get at them when mounted.
