Default 06 wheel hop??

I have an 06 that had 275s on the rear and had no issue with wheel hop. I just recently lowered it and had to go to 245s on the rear(for now) because the 275s rubbed so bad and I now have horrible wheel hop. What the deal?

what kind of tires? im betting the arent the same exact kind. the stickier they are the more hop youll get. even with my axle the gsd3s suck at the track but on the street they just hook or spin like butter on spray.

my passenger side Gforce axle did have some issue. but the driver side is holding strong. and the way Gforce disigned there axle, you replace the driver side axle. with both replaced i had ZERO wheel hop. with just the driver side there is some, but it is barely noticable. it will last maybe a second or 2 on a less then good road.

wheel hop is fixed on the street, i guarnatee the budget axles will still hop at a prepped track if you try and launch too hard.
