the wife wants a truck like me, just smaller. shes not used to driving a truck and ive never driven a dakota. just curious how they are with rear wheel hop. i dont need her bouncing off of the road on me

 

are you referring to wheel hop when you are burning rubber? I dont have any with mine, but I have an open diff. If you are referring to plain ol rear end bouncing from driving, not much there either....unless the shocks are worn out...

 

When it comes to the rear wheels spinning, there is no wheel hop with my factory lsd rear end.

 

rear wheel hop as in when youre heading down the highway and you hit a bump and the rear wheels hop (sometimes to the side) because there isnt a lot of weight in the rear of the truck.

 

I experience minimal wheel hop in the rear going over bumps. With the Rancho struts up front and Monroe shocks in the rear, over a bumpy road I will find the truck hopping, but nothing that isn't controllable. Im sure having the quad cab helps since its an extra 300lbs on the rear half of the truck.

 

The hop isn't bad. Now if you're barreling around a corner and hit a bump then yes you will get some decent hop, it is still a truck after all.

 

This.

 

this????

 

His words are the exact way I would describe the wheel hop.
