traction bars who has them?

OK so a bit about my current set up I'm running roughly 6" of lift and 37x12.50x16.5s. The truck has some what i would call wheel hop on a medium to hard accel in the rear and what feels to me like some shimmy/axle wrap in the front. Now I know my tie rod ends and drag link up front are completely shot so that is some of what I'm feeling up front. But my question is is there such a thing as axle wrap in the front? And for those with lifted trucks are you running traction bars in the front and rear or only the rear? Will rear traction bars alone solve my wheel hop or this something I'm going to have to live with on a heavy leaf spring truck?

Ditch the blocks in the rear and get a shackle flip kit instead.
