Default Front end axle wrap

I recently installed new LCA's on a 3 1/2 " lift. Now I'm getting axle wrap when backing out drive way & braking. All LCA bolts are tight, could it be from worn UCA's? Anybody have this problem?

I didn't think you could get axle wrap on a 4 link setup. Thought that was only an issue with leaf springs.
