would theyre be anyway to prevent axle wrap but run 2 springs. also would the 2 springs flex like crazy?

I'm running chevies and bobbed the bed 10". I dont remeber how far I moved the front forward though, I can measure later. But it all depends on the WB you want. While setting the springs, is the best time to adjust the WB if you are going to.

11" FORWARD, 4.5" BACK.  Oh and make sure you bob your bed 16".  That way you will get to add frame back.
 .  You should be fine with those measurements.  When you are done installing go out and flex them out.
