you can play with the air in the rear tire's also the more air less hop but also less traction

Would this not make the truck ride rougher when unloaded. ( those new springs that is)

I'll let you know this weekend or so. Just ordered a set yesterday. I heard they don't stiffen it up much if at all, we'll see.

DodgeZilla, cheezeee, am I glad you posted in regards to snow and wheel-hop. I though I was the only one which has this issue. Its so friggen bad and I cant even build up any speed to get through the deep stuff!!!!!Spinning the rear wheel in snow, dont get you anywhere.
Weight wont correct the problem, had over 800 lbs, once the rear wheels just START to spin, its so voilent, you have to jump on the brakes. I only noticed it when the snow was wet.
I dont think its the suspension, I think its crap American Axle, anti-spin. It starts to hunt between both wheels. If I know what the h#ll would correct it for sure, would have it on order.
I have the Regional Rep checking with the D/C engineers (well hopefull it not just lip service) as to what would correct it. Called for aftermarket anti-spin and cant find anyone making for the american axle.
By the way do you have anti-spin, didnt notice in you signature.

I'm experencing this when pulling my small gooseneck. The trailer is ballanced more over the trailer and not so much on the truck like alot of goosenecks and when it's loaded I some times get this awlful shudder when I takeoff if I accelrate too quickly. It's even worse in reverse trying to push the trailer. I hate it. It's embaressing when people notice this at a light going thru town and stare. LCH

www.calvertracing.com has a very good reputation with the leaf spring drag racers, and I will install when I do the min packs.
