Angry Axle Wrap

so today i was in traffic and it felt like the rear end was rising up so i went home and layed under neath the truck and my dad pushed the truck back and forth and i am experiencing axle wrap... so all of my leaf springs are junk anyways so since the leafs are gone i was looking into a lift and the tires im running now are 33x12r15 mickey thompson baja claws. and i was thinking on going a 5 inch lift and i think that as the leafs get old or as i go to 38 inch tires i will still experience axle wrap???? so would i have to get traction bars tooo? and i as thinking about 5 inch super lift lift kit with a super lift traction bar i will post a link for the lift and traction bar if the are the right ones for my 93 w150


lift:http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits...7&t_pn=SUPK473

traction bar: http: //www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits-Suspensions-and-Shocks/Traction-Bar-Rod-Kit.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=101&t_pt=3177&t_pl=9281&t_pn=SU P100

thanks,
cam

Can't say for sure, but my '72 has no traction bars, and it doesn't have noticeable axle wrap. But I have a pretty much stock 318, factory 3/4 ton springs out back, and I don't try to drive fast... Either way a traction bar will solve the axle wrap problem.

Won't be a bolt on, but it would work.
