That, my friend is axle wrap, not good. Mine had it too but used some helper spring from jcwhitney and took care of it but the ride was stiffer and it lowers the rear about 1" to 1 1/2". 2 Days ago I took off the helper springs and am now trying out something different. I bolted bushings right between the bottom leaf spring and the middle one (this is on a 6" flip kit) just in the front sides at the end of the leaf spring where it has a little plastic cap; Results so far, No wheelhop (axlewrap) and a soft ride, I can now feel the truck squat when I floor it. Just experimenting, I will probably wind up getting caltracs.

That is really bad on U joints. Did you take the over load or any springs out?
