Kicker shocks



Something just occurred to me on this topic.  Under high torque,
high traction conditions, like climbing up a rock step or something,
axle wrap can be a problem too, right?  If the springs on either
end can twist up enough (slowly, over a period of several seconds),
then our poor driveshaft u-joints are in just as much danger as
from the fast, bunny-hop kind of axle wrap.

In cases like that, a kicker shock won't help at all - it'll just
slowly compress or extend as the springs twist up.  Bang!

Makes a stronger case for the anti-wrap bar approach, maybe?
