I just noticed i have an unusual amount of axle wrap with these RE rear leafs. Yes they seem as they will flex nicely but the axle seems to wrap under load and its noticeble even if you push the truck back forth in park. Any thoughts?

i dont think my RE 3.5s have ever had an issue with wrap that ive ever seen. have the RE 1.25" shackle on it (.75" really)
they seem to wrap just sitting under load? or flexing? or what

They wrap when I leave it in park and rock it back and forth hard by hand. RE is clueless. They want a video. You can actually see the spring flexing. I have stock shackles.

ive seen slight axle wrapage on a couple of our club xj's, bens being one of em. duno how much of a problem it really is, his pinion was moving maybe 1-2 inches up and down.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that some of bens axle wrap may be attributed to his revolver shackles...maybe I dunno.  |
