what kind of lift do you have. If you are using blocks i would get rid of them, the closer the springs are to the rear end the less axle rap you will experience.

what i would recommend is possibly buying a 4 inch shackle flip, and losing the 3.5 inch block. This will get rid of your axle rap, unless your making alot more power then a stock truck. Generally people dont need traction bars until they get like 350-400 hp, and 400 ft lbs torque.
And even then some trucks still don't need them
