I was under the impression that axle wrap happened when you put a big motor in our trucks. How is your 22RE causing axle wrap? I must be confused on what causes it.
http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/tech/susp/axlewrap/Just had a good read on that.
Been thinking of a anti wrap bar for my rig. And I am stock with 31's! I can tell when I get on it big time off the light, that the rear axle wraps hard!!Years ago, I was following a lifted Toy, and it had blocks, and everytime he got on it, the pinion would shoot skyward. I backed off, waiting for his axle to blow a ujoint.
I can't remember where I saw it, but it stuck in my mind when I did. It was design like a square tube front d-line, but had a shock mounted to the two pieces of tubing. I tried to look it up, but I couldn't find it, but I did find links to how race cars have a space age looking setup. And how some guys had coil springs in them. And I forgot that late model S-10's (ZQ8 model) had a shock mounted to eliminate axle wrap. And if you did a system like this, you could get adjustable shock and play with the dampening system to dial it in.
If you want a place and an extra set of hands to put that thing on, Jon. You are welcome to bring it over some upcoming weekend.
I've been thinking off doing this as well. ruff stuff sells the parts in pieces http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/Antiwrap.html?Screen=USL&Code=antiwraptractionbars I may just buy the axle mount portion and make the rest myself http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/AWCOMP.htmlthe bud built one is nice, but it's $400
no doubt
axle wrap is an issue for all of us with big tires, soft springs and especially crawler gears. it's more noticeable at moab because of the traction on sandstone, tires stick to it like glue allowing very steep ascents putting more than usual load on the rear drivetrain so if you slip just a bit while climbing the axle rap can cause the truck to bounce. it's not like it happens all the time, for me, it's just on some of the very steepest obstacles.
Does BudBuilt just sell the studs/nuts and the part that bolts to the axle?That part looks like it would be the hardest to make yourself......
I have a weld on traction bar on my Toyota and I would have never believed the difference it made in my truck until I experienced it on climbs and pulling other trucks that have broke ! You will not regret installing one !
