    That's not axle wrap then. Like I said, 2 entirely different causes and remedies. Axle wrap will be only under hard acceleration and you wouldn't feel it with mellow driving or under braking conditions. Even the remedy you are looking at wouldn't fix actual axle wrap, it's the fix for bad angles. You are lowering your carrier bearing thereby creating less of an angle at the Ujoints. What degree is the pinion mount at and the degree of the driveshaft? Chances are you are probably at -3 degrees or higher with that lift. the blocks tend to only have enough degrees for the amount of lift that block lifts which is often simplified as 1 degree per inch of lift. If you have a HD set of springs in there then youre probably at around 6 inches of lift but only enough angle for 3 inches of lift. Personally I'd start with a 3 degree shim under the blocks. Measure you're angles first though to know you're starting point

    The vibration is under hard acceleration from stop.

    Then I can guarantee it's not axle wrap.
    Measure you're pinion and driveshaft angles and you'll find the problem
