Leaf Springs with less 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.

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.
