They work! They hang down a little low but they are a cheap fix for axle wrap.

Re: Anyone every used these?
In addition to helping w/axle tramp, they just look *****in'. Real old-skool hot-rod type stuff. I dig 'em. You should put 'em on.

Re: Anyone every used these?
They work pretty good, but they work even better if you paint your rear axel florescent orange or green! Make sure not to remove any mud or grease before you paint the axel tho, and get lots of overspray on your tires & stuff. Old school, been there done that.
