I have a 6" flip kit on my truck and it had real bad axle wrap (wheel hop) and this is what I used. It's worked real good for me, no more wheel hop....

you can buy some $10 spring clamps at an auto store. it will compress the lower spring that hangs against the other two springs. They go in the front of the rear axle.

If you do a search you can find some pics.

BTW do you have bigger pics of your truck, I want to look at the side skirt. looks like one of thos old searing silverados.

I have spring clamps too. Cheap and easy way to help with the wheel hop problem. They even lower the rear of your truck 1/2".
