Axle wrap is the force that the diff makes under acceleration in which it tries to 'wrap' the diff in the springs.
On a spring over vehicle the wrap force is offset much more thus giving extra leverage to the wrap moment.
This bounces the car as you have said. A ladder bar / torque rod will stop the diff from wrapping under the springs.

My mistake re the springs, I was thinking your trucks were 2003 models, but I recall now they were 93 & 95 so yes they would be leaf front and rear. My old 75 was the same, had a lot going for them I reckon, good strong set up, and difficult to bend stering arms etc, unlike a coil set up, leaves things a bit vunerable.
Thanks for the explanation re the Axle wrap, its not a term i have come across before. Will pass it on to my mate in his lifted Hilux, might be something he can do about it.
Cheers
