quite honestly, I would fgure out something different from those stupid blocks. thats whats screwin ya. once you get rid of those blocks its gonna be 5 billion times better. then if you still dont like go with the traction bars...
or buy the traction bars, keep em til you get rid of blocks, if still axle wrappin badly, then put them on, if not sell em to somebody else for how much you bought em for. I wouldnt run traction bars on mine cause it wll ruin any major flex that you could potentially have...

the traction bars i'm talking about is NOTHING like the ones you posted. The ones you posted are pretty heavy duty and looks a lot tougher.
I have a lesser version, that a lot of people here has:
and here's the link: http://www.jamesduff.com/broncoII/tracbar.html
And it does seem like it'll fit your style of ranger
Short Review: I think the traction bars were my BEST investment. Got rid of axle hop and a little quicker off the line.
Again, it's nothing like the ones you posted, but hell, it works for me.
One note: the ones I got, i suggest getting some lithium spray-on grease. If you dont' grease them right, it'll squeak like a ****.. and hard to grease once they're on.... fyi.

Myself, Coy and a few others have broken Duffbars. They are ' ok ' for an occasional offroading, but if your hardcore or get into a lot of tight areas, I'd look for something stronger.
You might look to different shackles and ditch the blocks as Gildo mentioned. Once the blocks are gone and your on a good mounting point, then go to traction bars or a long-link setup. a local fab shop could mill up something for you a lot cheaper if you took them pictures of what those Traction bars look like.
Its a simple bracket for the frame and an attachment to the axle to keep the axle from rotating..
