Does the RAS for a 2016 Ford F-250 Eliminate Wheel Hop and Axle Wrap?

Question:

Does this system eliminate or reduce axle wrap and how does it do this? I have a severe problem with axle wrap in sand and other soft surfaces. 2016 f250 rear wheel drive 6.2 gas.

Yes, it does and they do a great job of it! Axle wrap occurs when the turning of the tires causes the axle housing to twist or rotate. This rotation forces your leaf springs to bend into an S-shape causing you to loose traction.

The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit item # RAS3611-SLHD holds your F-250's leaf springs in their original bowed shape. The S-shape twisting followed by wheel hop, is eliminated because the tires transfer torque to the ground more efficiently.

I have linked an installation video below to help you get them set up.

The RoadActive item # RAS3611-SLHD is designed for the 2016 Ford F-250s with a top overload spring. If you do not have this extra spring you'll need the item # RAS3611-SHD instead.
