Any pics of a traction bar mounted to the frontend of a samurai to stop spring wrap? trying to figure a place to put one...

Spring wrap on the front end usually isn't a problem, it's the rear due to the weight transfer to the back of the vehicle while climbing that causes the wrap.  Are you twisting your front springs up?

Yes I think so,Once in awhile when I get on it hard and im kinda in a rut so the trucks twisted just a little.The front right tire hits the wheel flare, and I here a noise comong from up there too, idk if its the tire hitting I hear or not.

That's doesn't sound like spring wrap, it sounds more like your bending your spring.  The only way to really get around that would be to switch to a coil setup in the front.

Spring wrap is to eliminate the axle rotating under power and twisting your springs.  It has to allow forward and backwards movement in order to match the movement of your shackle based suspension.
