    just a quick question, i have already mentioned that i get wheel hop or something like it while wheeling in snow(or when peeling out) and i was just woundering if the stiffer spring in the rear (which the tsb or aal would give me) would solve the little problem. sounds good but does anyone with a m/t and a tsb or aal have wheel hop ??

    Yes, wheel hop is there even after TSB. There is less of it but still there. 2gens have very long springs and that is the main problem. The only good solution is traction bar. This way you are not making stiffer ride but less wheel hop

    My first thought was stiffer leaf springs, my second thought was better tires.
