With my '57, doing burnouts is very common. I knew I could run into a wheel hop issue with the factory spring pack with a few leafs missing.

My tires will not make it to 10,000 miles, I don't care..... all I know is I have had zero wheel hop with the "slapper bar" design.

Building or finding a set for spring under axle design should easy to find or fabricate.

Good luck, Jim

Nice setup there Jim.
