Articulation or Axlewrap?
they dont have nothin to do with each other. axle wrap is the spring twisting into an s shape from the front to back when under power, axticulation is the spring on one side being compressed and the one on the opposite side being decompressed, and so on, thats the best i can explain it without going too far into detail

Articulation or Axlewrap?
I know what you mean...If you get softer springs that articulate more, they will have more of a tendency to wrap up under acceleration/deceleration. Traction bars stop this but they do take away from articulation. Most of the magazines that I have seen deal with this use highly fabricated 2-3 link traction bars. You could try mailing editors from some of the major magazines to see what they might have in their article archives that deal with the problem.

Articulation or Axlewrap?
Logan, give me about a week, I have a setup on my truck that I think is going to work, but I don't know for sure yet... I'll have pictures next week sometime, & as long as nothing else falls apart, I'll be able to test out what I did this weekend. I'll keep ya posted. I know it twists really well, & now I'm going to be running in some axle wrap inducing stuff this coming weekend.
