you can make a traction bar that goes under the u-bolts on top of the spring.
make a plate with an anchor/pivot point and bolt it under the u-bolts on top of leaf spring.
make a rod with a heim joint on one end and a threded stud on the other end.
drill a hole in the front spring mount and use rubbers and washer from a front shock on the stud end and hanger.
done this for a few 4x4s when running the axle under spring,makes a nice traction bar and is up out of the way.
this will elimnate wheel hop on the cheap.
Time to swap the springs from the old truck?

Three weeks start to finish in my driveway. The springs from the old truck wouldn't work because they are rearched 4".

thats why I like a shackle flip with axle floped ontop of the springs
no wheel hop just spins or hooks.
the axle under set up has always made the rear of a truck jump around, the shackle in stock position flops back and forth as it wheel hops/bounce/rebound
with it flip and the weight loading the shackle and spring it does a much better job controling the wrap up in the springs.
the way the leverage is applied to the spring makes all the difference. IMHO

Because it would raise the back end 4" higher and it's high enough as it is. I don't want to do the axle flip because it would lower the truck and take away the tire clearance I need for the 315/60/15 Et streets.

but...if you ADDED 4" from re-arched springs, then did an axle flip which normally takes away 3.5-4"....you'd end up pretty much right back where you are
thats why I mentioned it in the first place..
