Re: armchair engineer



Axle wrap would be the flexing of the suspension due to torque.  If it's the
leaf springs thats flexing than they may be too soft. Might consider
adapting some kind of torsion bar.  Probably any leaf spring bushing or
suspension set up designed to add flex could also allow a little more axle
wrap than a stiff suspension.
A trick Mopar used was to have the leaf spring center bolt place closer to
the rear of the spring rather than the center.  Having the center bolt
closer to a fixed point decreased axle wrap.
