I Hate It When That Happens

After I put my BHAF on, bumped the timing, changed the fuel pin, and turned the fuel screw in a little more, I can make the rear end of my truck start to "hop" in 4th and 5th gear when I floor it.

Am I experiencing axle wrap?

Id say yes moreso if you have blocks in it like my W350. Mine is an auto and does this so i put a cam underneath and filmed it wrapping up.

Yeah I have 7" worth of blocks. Is a shackle flip the best way to get rid of that?

Surely a shackle flip so I could get rid of most of my block would do it, wouldn't it? I don't think my springs are that soft (It sure doesn't ride like it anyway).

Yes a shackle flip will eliminate about 4" of blocks. You could also get lift springs to reduce it more.
