You are getting axle wrap from the 5" drop blocks; the nornal twisting of the leaf springs are amplified by the tall blocks and the fact that they are narrower than the leaf spring itself. The amount of drop is limiting the options you have, but the best way to do a 5" rear drop is to dearch the springs 3" and reverse the spring eyes- the springs mount as stock to the axle and no weird twisting from the blocks. I've split a set of main leafs longways using 3" blocks without the angle shims from the twisting; mine's not a stock 2.6 either
