If i remember correctly the military wrap is designed to suport main the leaf and hold it all together if the main leaf breaks. More often than not if a leaf brakes it is at the fixed end not the shackle end.

fixed end will at least keep the axle near to the correct position if everything goes to shit, at least till you can stop.

My omes have the wrap at the shackle on the front (heavy duty) and none at all on the rears (mediums). My gf's rocky has the wrap at the shackle on the fronts and at the fixed mount on the rears.
