Axle wrap

Here's the best example I've seen of soft springs under load and plenty of axle wrap.

Granted we don't tow this much weight, but it's why we upgrade the springs. (some of us like the articulation these rigs are capable of )

See at 10:01 and prepare to cringe.


Apologies for using up 23 mins of your time (if you're like me and get sucked into the vortex).

What kind of "upgrade" did you make to eliminate axle wrap ?

Perhaps more importantly how were you using your Ex that the factory Anti-wrap bar was not getting the job done ?
