Axle wrap

Do a google search for a company called One Up Off-road. They build a traction bar combined with a lift block, to your specs. I have installed a couple of these sets, and they are very nice.
Edit: I have installed Cal-Tracs on a lifted truck that was boosted and made big torque. It did not work. They kept loading & unloading, made the truck bunny hop. The One Up Off-road bars were installed next, and fixed the problem. That was my first experience with them, and have used them since on lifted trucks.

As a quick test (possible fix), clamp the front part of the leaf pack. It'll stiffen the front section which is typically the part that wraps up.
It eliminated wheel hop (which is cause by the axle wrapping up and then unwrapping violently) by clamping my overload leaf to the rest of the pack in front of the rearend and at the time I was hitting it pretty hard..........mid 1.5 60 foots at 4550 lbs.

Caltrac design isnt close to ideal on a lifted truck
Clamping front wont help all that much...lifted trucks just have so much leverage and mass fighting
This is why when you see a big badass torque monster thwy are using a ladder style long bar
Ive saw small tubing long bars bow badly

subscribing.......i was goign to bild a set of my own. the pro comps are around 700 once you get the bars and mounting hardware. Was goign to use 1.5" tubing and at a mininmum of .120" wall, .250 if someone makes it. Pretty much the hole reason im not going above 7lbs right now

I built long bars years ago, they've worked great.
