New guy already getting into driveline vibration scene

I always leave my reciever hitch in for that reason. If someone rear ends me it will take some of the damage [emoji4]

I do the same thing. I leave the receiver hitch in all the time for the same reason. I also have a Reese hitch step on.
 
Diagram of axle wrap (or rather what spring is going thru during this condition... Under acceleration, condition replicates itself on deceleration to a full stop. It feels like a "thump" when coming to a complete stop...This is a huge problem that's going to continue until a new spring design is in place..

Thanks for illustration. Wow. Glad I'm not dealing with the wrap crap. Sounds like feeling you might get on the waterbed in your 1975 Econoline when driver breaks hard.
