Ladder Bars are the answer. One reason for the wheel hop/axle wrap, the stupid lift blocks on the rear springs!!!!!!

I've recently tried GDP ladder bars, and am surprised that they did not help my wheel hop in reverse on dirt (uphill) much. I do not have an anti spin rear end, maybe a factor? Or I could have assumed spring wrap and this is shudder? It only happens in some poor traction conditions, most of the time in reverse and with no load. Haven’t had the opportunity to try the same loaded, or all the other conditions yet.

the gdp have those shackles up front that allow forward and aft movement of the axle... maybe that is where ur hop is stil coming from?? I know mine used to hop teeth jaring bad!! now I can't make it hop no matter what I do! axle can't wrap and can't move forward or aft.... I will also note that my bars do not restrict movement off road... can still flex (if u can call it flex on these heavy suspensions) as much as I ould before my bars...
