Axle Wrap is the twisting of your leaf springs under load, usually causing wheel hop. It's usually made worse by lift blocks because the blocks give your axle more leverage to apply more torque to twist your springs. You probably don't have to worry about it cause your blocks aren't too big and your not pushing enough ponies to create that much torque.
Keep up the good work!

No No No No !
You got it all wrong !
Axle wrap is the packaging the leaves come in when shipped from the factory or lift re-seller.

Yeah I've been thinking about it, but I've also got a warn 9K winch in the garage that needs to go on, and on a college budget, its harder to work on than when i was in High School.
Thanks! You cant go wrong with BFGs! they're all I've ever run!

Well, im going with 4.10's on 33's, dont know its going to be power wise though. Im sure far better than my stock 3.55's are though. If you are looking to do it on the cheap i'd say 4.10 since you can buy all the stuff used considering its a factory ratio (came in all 4cyl standard cherokee's). I got a already 4.10 High Pinion D30 complete rotor to rotor, out of an old cherokee for 100 bucks, and a set of used 8.25 4.10s for 70 bucks, and all I needed extra was a rear install kit which is like another 80. Basically did the whole job for about 250 bucks. I havent installed the stuff yet but im sure it wont be too much of a pig on 4.10s. If you have the money to spend though 4.56 is prolly the way to go.
