    happy new year guys.

    i've got badass wheel hop in 2wd going through sand or when the rear tires start spinning in some muck. think new shocks would help out? the fancy stockers are still in there from 05..

    The wheel hop you are experiencing is axle wrap. The suspension on the truck and to much throttle are to blame. Tires will help but not solve it.

    a trac bar is the best at eleiminating such issues

    i've got bfg rugged terrain's on it..

    on my drag cars wheel hop is usually fixed by a shock adjustment, i thought that concept might transfer to the dirt.. i'm still learning on the transition :cool:

    I had drag bags on my stang I would pump up on the pass side to limit bounce. Stiffer shocks may help, but you would need shocks so stiff your ride would suffer in the rough stuff. finding a happy medium would be a PITA in a truck unlike a street ride.

    By far the best bet IMO is less throttle (better control). With enough practice you will get better.

    Jandrews is the only member on here to my knowledge who has installed a trac bar. He has pics in his build. This method still gives you a great ride because it does not stiffen it.

    Edit: I think mjp2 also has a trac bar on his truck....can't remember, but he is in NJ.

    Car In front of her lost its exhaust system, cat back to muffler. She dodged but it knocked a rear tire, none in the front while highway driving on rt 80. She did fine by me.

    Thank god it wasn't a curb. And damn the fuck stick who can't keep exhausts on their vehicle
