locked rear flex on dry surface

I don't know where else to post but since I have SAS.....

I have a 95 with SAS and rear coil with AllPro links and EMU LC springs.
I noticed that when I'm on dry surface and locked in the rear, the truck "flex" when I turn due to both rear tires wanting to turn at the same time. I realized that the outter wheel wants to spin more than the inner one but instead of slipping, the rear 5 links suspensions twist before the tire slips.

Are you guys with SAS and rear coil with rear locker experiencing this? I've already made sure everything is tight back there.

Thanks.

maybe the rear springs are a little to long, somtimes if the links are at a bad angle the axle will try to push its self under the truck.

Thanks for the input. I thought about that also but I've had this setup for years but just didn't noticed it. Maybe Ive always ran them only on dirt.
I do want to hear from folks with the similar setup.

I can tell you my Runner will lift on the inside of the turn if my elocker is engaged, and that's with ifs and both the stock rear springs and with OME 900's in the rear. I think it's just the nature of the link and coil setup in the rear.
