Re: Wheel hop

I find traction bars work reasonably well but most people don't set them up properly and give them a bad rap . its been a while but the rubber snubber is supposed to be something like 3/4 inch and closer from the spring in gear . I have seen 2 to 4 inches on cars almost to the point where they should dig the pavement at a big enough pot hole . they need to be close enough to the spring to pull the rear end back down to the pavement when the spring starts to wrap up this eliminating the hop . I have used plate steel to shim them up not at the snuber but at the part where the ubolt bolts them to the spring . I have also eliminated the ubolt and used a plate on top of the spring and grade 8 bolts because the ubolts can break especially on anything more than stock horsepower levels . good luck on whatever you try
