Okay... This is probably a super newbie question, but I've really never messed much with jeep suspension.
The other day I saw a Jeep with what I'm assuming are bars for axle wrap elimination. I know the Rubicon has a version of this already, but I'm trying to learn (I'm actually thinking about fabricating something for my CJ one day).
The TJ had a bar that went from the frame to a bracket on the axle tube. This was repeated on the other side of the jeep as well.
So, my question is...if the axle drops during articulation, doesn't the distance of that rod need to change? Otherwise it seems the axle wrap bar would pull the axle to the center of the vehicle as the axle drops. The ones I was looking at were a set length.
Am I missing something here?
