Re: 72 Lwb

I have never heard of having wheel hop with trailing arms. It can be horrible with leaf springs.

I would do coilover shocks behind the rear axle and loose the stock shocks and springs. You may have to modify the bed floor to keep it that low in the rear.

One other thing you might try is a different spring in the front to help with weight transfer. You need something with more stored energy and a 90/10 front shock.

By the way I love the truck!
