Solutions for axle wrap

1965 c-10 with a 70's rear end.

To drop it, the original owner removed some leaf springs and the 3 on each side are pretty "bouncy".

When stepping on the gas medium to hard, I get axle wrap - and I can see the u joints are slightly bent.

What are some on the budget solutions for this?

Are traction bars the best way to go?

Is there a way to find used traction bars?

Any other ideas?

Also, does this mean I loose a lot of power in most conditions or only on a hard take off?



Thank you.
