Will an add-a-leaf help reduce axle wrap?

to an extent, but the best way is axle wrap bars.... you would have to build them custom.

they also make antiwrap spring perches about 8" long, too.

anti axle wrap spring pearches ruin flex though. Might as go with drag car style traction bars if your going to use those.

But an axle wrap bar is your best bet. like andrews or todds.

I need a few more inches of clearance for the tires anyway and have already trimmed as much as I'm comfortable with.

Glenn here's the link for the anti-wrap perches. http://www.mountainoffroad.com/
2 3/4" will fit the d44. are you getting some sick wrap?

I've got a d60 rear, but they're probably the same width perches.
I can feel it when trying to accelerate from a stop. The springs are pretty soft.

The shackle flip enhances the axle wrap. Unless you have incorrect shackle angle (like me lol). With mine the angle of the shackle prevents the spring eye from going any farther forward really.

Thanks for the link.
