When i lift my truck on a lift my rear axle doesnt really drop much, if at all. But when my tires spin they chirp and the whole *** end of the truck starts bouncing..... In doing some research on traction bars/ladder bars seems an a frame style is best because it keeps the axle from leaning forward or backwards which eliminates wrap.... Originally thinking with the over and under at same time would basically form a 4 link style suspension

Mine did the exact same thing even with out a lift block so removing it really wont solve your problem anyway. Rear shocks may help but I agree with you going straight for a trac bar is the best option.
One over and one under seems like it would be better but I would probably just go with a set of ether over or under whichever you think looks better and then your problem will be solved.

Think i may try a set of the over leaf ones, $150 if they work, my problem will be solved and im not out that much..... if they dont..... Then, im out $150 and can take em back off!! Lol i think the under acles look cool but i cant find a good explanation of how to figure out what length i need, problem being that i dont exactly have a stock suspension that been lifted.... I may as well have 8" on this truck.... Between the 4" block and the 2500 leafs....

Yeah I dont think you can go wrong with that Im in way more for my single bar. I did go down some wash board roads today for the first time since trac bar and coilovers and 5100s and wow is ti smooth no rear hopping all over and I was able to keep it sideways around corners very easy with no hop. even managed to bust out some 1st-2nd-3rd gear donuts in some mud

The lift blocks seem to make the axle wrap worse. Guys suggest going with lift springs but I find they sag out pretty quick. Or you need so many leafs that it rides like a dump truck.
A couple guys around here have made their own designs of the slide a links that are working out pretty well
I was thinking of going with the pro comp under axle as I figure with the lift block it would be better having it closer to the axle then on top further away
