nick you could try new shocks too

 

Hey Nick,

Did you ever solve your wheel hop problem? If so, what did you do. I've discovered I have the same issue.

 

I had wheel hop from hell until I got the 2 1/2 inch lift, shocks and 35's.

 

Your best bet is replace the stock leafs and get a set of full leafs (the stocker rubber bushings suck and eyelet location/shackles and not mucharch of the stockers). Also if your going off road you need to drop the tire pressure down. Least favorable would be getting traction bars, unless your truck is going sky high lift or racing on the track. It's only going to get worse if you put on bigger tires.

 

dang nick. . .your truck is just issue after issue. . .

 

I know! This is an old thread, but the problem still exists. From all the reading I've done, it is plain and simple. The cushy springs we have wrap up from torque, then when they spring back into shape you get the hop. I think Triton is right on the money, traction bars are going to be the only "cure" short of completely different spring packs.

 

thats kinda weird since I have not had any wheel hop on my truck. I did have a little on that sled pull, but thats beside the point.

too bad Don Thuren doesnt make trac bars. . .

 

sand blows what are ya talking about? ill go down 60 miles of beach, 40 are 4x4 only once a month with no issues, 275 60 20... ive never had to deflate my tires for sand, ive only heard yankees talking bout how they lower their tire pressure for a lil bit of sand... guess ill add a damn okie to the list

I guess you never been in the sand dunes. I guarantee your truck will get stuck w/o airing down trying to do 40-60 mph. Especially in those 20" wheels. You can mall crawl in the beaches, nothing to worry about.

 

Don doesn't make traction bars because of his shackles and full leafs he fabs/sells. Don't need bars.
