Axle Wrap

[Charky]

Didn't notice this being discussed, may have just missed it, so bringing it up.

Wondering if axle wrap is or may be an issue, particularly with the higher torque of these engines along with the taller blocks on the rear leaf springs.

I've heard good things about the Roadmaster Active Suspension solution. Anyone have any experience with this? I've read this system may lift the rear end a little, so going with shorter blocks may help keep the rake down.

Looks like ladder bars would really drag on stuff while off-roading.

Anyway, just throwing this out there to try and learn something. Thanks!

Funny, I just posted about my intent to give these a go.

To answer the axle wrap question. If it has torque and leaf springs it's likely to experience axle wrap. I'll be giving them a call tomorrow (time permitting) to ask some very specific questions about how (and when) it acts. Ideally, we wouldn't need the HD version with the heavier springs. my hope is that I put the sd set on and leave the block until deavers can get a product together. I want the stock height in the back but would like the springs to engage more and earlier as to be the dog dragging his butt.

Edit: torque, leaf springs and a lift block.
