Axle Wrap Issues

I am wondering how many people are running some sort of anti-wrap device. Particularly those who have very low gears and are running Jeep YJ wrangler leafsprings. ALso if those people could post pictures of ones that they have made, particularly for toyota axles.

I run XJ springs backwards on D44's and I have a ladder bar type setup with a shackle up front that works great.

are you running bushings in all four mounts? how does it twist when the axle flexes?

running bushings in the rear and a heim up front. I will be changing the bushing to johnny joints shortly. It doesn't flex as well as I had hoped for with the bushings. without the bar it almost flexes too much.
