Sound like you have "Tall Block" syndrome. spring wrap is way more prevalent on lifted truck especially with lift blocks. solution less lift or traction bars. Sooner or later you WILL break something.

Yup, symptom of the extra leverage that lift blocks put onto the springs. The is the purpose of traction bars.

Safe to assume you do not off road this lifted truck or you would be experiencing excessive wheel hop when you lose traction.
