I was thinking the same thing?  I think you may have bigger problems if your getting axle wrap in the driveway...

i got the same impression

[nhyota603 [OP]]

its just leting out the clutch well pretty much dumping it

[THK Matt]

thats not axle wrap...  thats a flywheel-clutch problem.
you need some adjustment.

[nhyota603 [OP]]

ummm idk cuz if is my pinion moving upwards and downs words. like my rear axle when i pull forward and spin the tires my springs start to s curve and thats what the front is doing. the rear is geting an adjustable tractor 3 point hitch lenghtend from the top of my frame to the crossmember over the drive shaft

Your right it sounds like axlewrap, but if your wraping that easy you may want to look into differant springs,  thats sounds really bad.  There in no reason you couldnt run a traction bar to the front also, and if you intend on using the springs you have I would reccomend figuring out how to get one up there,  axle wrap can be pretty dangerous offroading especially in sticky situations...

TRACTION BARS OF SOME SORT!!! like maybe a 2link with ortibal ends.
