How do you know when you are experiencing axle wrap? I was towing an extremely heavy load today and heard/felt some different things. It was probably just the heavy load on a the crappy stock leafs with lift shackles, but I just want to make sure.

Axle wrap is more obvious when climbing and you start hopping. If your axle was wrapping kind of constantly from the load it was under, you would be getting driveshaft vibes as you went faster on account of the pinion angle being outta whack. It would be riding like crap as well, but with a really heavy load, that would be on account of a lot of things, mostly not related to the axle wrap.

All my opinion

Ok thanks, it was running very smooth, no vibes in the drive line. I should be fine then.
