Message: [QUOTE="TrailerHauler, post: 313373, member: 144"] Let me start by saying I'm in no way an expert on this subject, more or less just putting in my $.02. If you think about how the suspension travels, when the leaves compress, or the axle moves up towards the frame the leafs flatten out and move rearward towards the shackle which is why its there (to allow the leafs to grow in length, when their arch decreases or the leafs flatten) . So when the leafs compress and flatten out the whole axle moves rearward a little, which would cause your drive shaft to grow in length at the slip joint. If you drew an imaginary line of the arch that the traction bar makes, as it goes towards the frame or up, the rear joint also moves rearward when compared to a reference point on the frame. So the way I understand it is that the traction bar would follow the small movement the axle makes rearward when the suspension is compressed. Hope that makes a little sense, that's the best I could explain my thinking. [/QUOTE]
