Terrible wheel hop!
hi guys,
wanted some input as maybe this is common.
i have a 6 speed 3500 and when im doing my warmup burnouts or just out screwing off i get a horrible wheel hop..... i mean its bad! i know ladder bars would solve this but that would bump me up a class in the local pulls i pull in.
are there any other ideas? the truck only has 60K on it so i doubt it has any mechanical problems suspension is all stock. I take off in 2nd gear and have to shift immediatly cuz it starts to bounce.
thanks
mark

Maybe a little pricey for your situation, but I never had any problems with wheel hop using the Carli 2.65 Bilstein 9100 shocks in the rear, Carli full leaf deaver springs, and Carli airbags...third gear boosted launches and it just plants and goes!

Wheel hop is usually caused by axle wrap. Get a stiffer spring pack, and clamp the ends of the leaves together. Stealthy, somewhat inexpensive, and usually works. SHouldn't put you in a differant class.
