    Hey guys I have a 1997 2.7l single cab and I have a 3 inch lift on it, it’s probably a stupid question but I’m curious on why sometimes I get wheel hop in the front end off-roading ? Sometimes it’s bad and I don’t understand on why it does it thank you!

    Good traction in tight turns will cause front wheel hop in 4WD.
    Same goes for locked rears.
