Did all work myself could be a reason my truck doesnt drive new . I dont think my KYB shocks help at all, those are a really hard shock, anyone think I should go back to stock shocks?

If you have a flip kit.. you'll have to make you own or modify some existing brands.
If you have different springs... or just have lowering shackles.. these will work for you.

Look up Matt 05'FX4. He has some of these bars. They will eliminate any axle wrap. I'm making my own right now.

BTW pro comp makes traction bars. Does your truck sit too low to use those?

you need something like these under-ride bars. The bolt to the bottom of your leaf springs using the axle u-bolts and then run up and mount of the frame somewhere. any 1/2 way decent metal shop can build you something like this for under $200
btw, this is only good for 4x2 trucks. for use on a 4x4, you'll need a good heim joint on either end of the bar to allow for the axle articulation while off-roading
I found that bar here
Under-Ride Bars
you might be able to make 'em work on your truck, but it ain't likely
