Default Leaf Springs with less axle wrap?

Does anyone know what Leaf Springs give the least amount of axle wrap?

The prob is the less axle wrap the stiffer the spring so the less flex.

Now the only thing in the past I found to work is a leaf pack that is double military wrapped or one with more leafs.

get longer spring perches, or make a traction bar.

I had a six degree shim in took it out that helped and I'm not really worried about flex as I have six inch coils springs from a F150 in the front. I'm just tired of breaking u-joint straps.
