>Wheel hop can come from different things.
1) how many miles on the shocks do you have? A set of better quality =
may be needed of the heavy duty type
2) your hanger and shackle rubber bushings may be loose(worn out) or =
the bolts holding the said items may be broken
3)Check the springs for cracked or broken leafs--this puts more stress =
on the remaining leafs and lets the leafs wind-up and release in a quick =
manner over and over as wheel gets traction
4) loose axle mounting hardware(the U-shaped hangers holding the axle =
on
5) Worn out pinion snubber(lets axle wrap-up too much and bounces the =
front portion where the drive shaft connects to go up and down too much =
and quickly.
6) In other words, you MUST not have anything broken, bent, worn-out =
and loose that attaches to the frame-work or axle
7) if tires are good and you suspect no problems--then you might need =
traction bars. If you have the 4x4 model, they do make a traction bar =
set-up that goes above the springs and axle system, if you have a 2x, =
that same set-up may still work, because it attaches to the springs and =
frame-work, you'll need to go to a off-road shop to check it out. If =
you're into the street-scene then Lakewood makes a simple traction =
bar--check out auto stores.
