Axel wrap ... Bad!!!

Black mamba

The mannnn
Like the post says lol, I knew this was a problem when I did my SL. But it DESTROYED my pinion seal and not to mention the crazy looks I get when putting my truck into drive ... What would be a cheap way to eliminate this and save my pinion !? I lOoked at roadmaster active suspension but there not exactly "cheap" Any suggestions ?
 
What exactly is it doing? I have a pinion seal leaker but no noise. Just the angle of the drive shaft doing it?
 
traction bars like the others said. you could get the james duff ones or make some custom ones with a heim at each end for a bit more flex and some stronger parts.
 
DITCH the double block GARBAGE. Keep the 2.5, but add a Belltech 6400 shackle and a short AAL. Those two will replace that SL block and give the same ride height. I saw 1.5" lift from each. OR....get expo leafs and shackle for a better ride and same ride height. Don't forget new U-bolts 'cause the SL's are crazy long.

The Duff baby bars will work fine for what they are....but I find, I still hop pretty crazy. Gotta love a manual and a locker. lol. Don't get me wrong, the Duff Bars everyone gets are great units and do a decent job, but with the weaker spring rate Expos for softer ride, the leaves don't help with the pinion pivoting . Ever since the Expo install, I've removed the bars 'cause I ran out of U-bolt threads. I've got the Duff long arm bars from a BII I hope to adapt to my Ranger, but will likely never get around to it. I'll probably fab a bar with a shackle and heim instead.
