I have an eight inch lift with leaf springs in the rear. From take off the truck has a horrible vibration in the driveline. I was told it was axle wrap. Just need to know what you guys think and and suggestions on how to stop it. My drivesshaft is align but when i take off the rear axle seems to move forward and up.

Actually I have axle wrap too, but the vibration is more than likely your driveline's slip joint needing to be lubed. I can floor mine form a light and don't get the vibration since I had the driveline shop rebuild my drivelines with there slip and stub joint.

I know after I installed my 8 inch lift I had a horrible vibration it turned out to be the carrier bearing and the rear u joint because of the different drive line angle I also put a carrier bearing drop bracket in mine. I did put traction bars on mine at a later date and it helped alot with axle wrap. Procomp and Fabtech both make traction bars for 99 and up
