Sounds like axle wrap, time to get rid of the blocks in the back, those are for show, need to get some proper drop leafs. Axle wrap can cause some serious damage.

What is axle wrap, noon here? Would the mono leafs or 2" steel drops leafs fix that.

Either would help a lot, the steel is better! Axle wrap is the turning of the axle under load, the twisting can break parts like u joints on the drives shaft :thumbdown: it happens when you add drop blocks or at least it makes the situation worse.

[hrspwr236]

that price is better than the urd traction bar..but is the performance better.

same question the calt tracs look like a great option I like how you reinforce both sides instead of one big bar in the middle and you lose your spare right?

 

[giox]

i dont think you loose your spare with either

I don't know how the URD 1 is. The Caltracs are awesome. I noticed the difference right away.
