    Hey guys been noticin a wheel hop situation mainly in sand or just climbin small hills in 2h... seldomly happens in 4h/4l, but from what I've been readin, this is a common issue for tacomas???

    Well what I would like to knw, is if anyone else has had this problem, and how this situation can be corrected... I also read that wheel hop is caused by worn out bushings or under torqued U bolts on these trucks specifically... lookin for suggestions or solutions much appreciated!

    wheel hop is common to "axle wrap"

    if you google that, you will find that topic going back years on TW, CustomTacos, and TTORA forums...

    Yup. The factory leafs on these trucks are known for axle wrap. Adding an aal or them helper springs can help but the best option is aftermarket leafs or trac bars.
