axle wrap fix
so i have been reading around and i want to build (or hoopefully just bolt on) 2 axle wrap brace bars. i have seen ones that bolt on the the stock front leaf spring mount and then to the bottom of the axle. kind of what they use on lifted trucks or even a torque arm like they use on GM sports cars. i would like some extra leverage on my axle cause i have a 7.5" long arm all spring in the back (no blocks) and i am putting awfully lot of stress to the rear springs with 4.56 gears and 35" tires. if anybody has ever made one of seen a kit i would love the feedback on it. thanks

Usually lift springs are stiffer and help fight the axle wrap. A torque arm or traction bar will limit articulation. I've seen some built towards the middle so that it doesn't hurt it as bad but not on a rig that sees any offroading.
