How does your pinion angle look?  shackle angle?  Just installing the springs shouldn't caue axle wrap, unless they were installed wrong. 

do a search, you'll find many people have done this, many different ways.

You can mount a bar that mounts to the top of your rear diff, and has a shackle like setup on the other end, that mounts to the cross frame in front of the gas tank.  If done right, it won't limit travel.  But it has to be the right length.

Do you have a V8 or alot of horse power? I agree with blackdog there shouldn't be that much wrap.
