hey dakotadumass i recently was pondering a way to reduce axle wrap and came across an idea and maybe those of you with lift kits may wanna try this, go to your local auto parts store (in my case napa) and get some universal leaf spring clamps and (kinda like add a leaf) clamp the overload spring to the rest of your leaf pack. This will strengthen the rear spring pack to combat the twisting forces of the axle. This is not a solution but it will help, the only down side is the rear suspention will ride rougher (i dont care personaly) which also makes cornering easyer. This is a good idea if you use lift blocks or tow. this will help straighen you piece of sh!t axle out. dont worry about the wheel just have it balanced it may take 6 or 7 ounces of wheel weights to get it balanced but it is much cheaper than buying a new wheel hope this helps
