Stopping AXLE WRAP with Dual shocks?...

I know that when you lift with blocks, you are bound to get axle wrap. I just heard somewhere that it can be stopped or decreased by mounting DUAL shocks? How does that stop it?And can you guys tell me where you woudl mount the second shock?Is there a kit for it or something? THX

I don't think You would want to do that, it would be a horribly stiff ride. Look into making a traction bar, get a bolt on traction bar. The traction bar will stop the axle wrap, and keep the blocks from moving around, and eventually spitting out from between the leaves and the axle.

Take a gander at;

Summit Racing

Performance Products

Just to name a couple. You can find these at lots of 4x4 shops, as axle wrap is a pretty common problem with soft springs and lift rigs.
