One of the most annoying things about Leaf Springs has got to be Axle Tramp.. You’re on your way home and it’s raining.. But! There’s nothing on the back of your ute.. And you’ve got an LSD Diff (most of the time) It’s late on a school night, so there’s practically no one else on the rd. For some reason, this makes every 2nd and 3rd gear change an opposite lock event when making a turn at an intersection and on some long sweeping corners.. As the vehicle rd speed catches up with the surface speed under the tyres.. The arse end starts violently jolting because the diff is twerking like Taylor Swift. So annoying 🙄 Without doing a major rear end revision. What’s a good way to stop the Differential’s ambition to wheelstand while the rest of the ute isn’t interested in doing so? ---

An anti-wrap kit such as this might do the trick: > **[Anti-Wrap Traction Bar Kit](https://barnes4wd.com/products/anti-wrap-traction-bar-kit)** > > With tall tires and lockers a traction bar is just what the doctor ordered. This kit will eliminate axle wrap and save your u-joints and leaf springs.  The shackle on this kit can be installed pointing up or pointing down.  This kit requires welding... It does require some fab work and welding. But looks well-built, and reasonably-priced. ![Anti-Wrap Track Bar](https://forum.isuzunation.com/uploads/default/original/1X/b1cc0c0019e84efed3a4aa0042f59fbf3e64a021.jpeg) ---

Here’s an excellent video showing the install of a dual-bar setup on a Toyota Tacoma: [![](https://forum.isuzunation.com/uploads/default/original/1X/3e7dafcf93c8ce52a8a9ae5428175a7bf92b0909.jpeg "Eliminate Axle Wrap in Your Leaf Sprung Truck") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrPo0UI3EwI) ---

Thanks @EdMc34ZuZu ! Legend.. I actually watched that vid last night! The dude looks like he’s been electrocuted​😆 I was surprised how he just welds the mounts on the axle tubes in situ.. But thinking about it, it would be fine. Those spring ones are kinda interesting.. They seem to be aimed at helping with payload but the way they are mounted, it would resist ‘wrapping’..? The single centred one I couldn’t use because of the Trundle Tray.. I’m going to source some bango spherical joints and go from there I think.. Thanks mate. ---
