I have done some searching on the site and there's alot of opinions on which solution is best. I wanted to bring it up again as some of the guys working with ideas have not posted new stuff in over a year.
Saddleup, I'd like to hear what you have to say about your axle wrap bar, It looks like you had the best solution. Seems that a trianglated unit with a point at the bottom of the axle and top extending to the frame with a shackle at the end and a heim joint would be best to allow the unit to rotate but I don't see that on yours?
I was noticing my springs are getting that S shape and I do get axle wrap so I figure it's time to do something about it.
Wrap trap is nice but it seems there should be a shackle up there at the frame and I agree with Saddleup that it should attach to the axle in two places. How long should it be and where should it attach at the top, line up with the front spring attachment or CV joint for the driveshaft.
What do you think?
