Default Best LCA's for Detroit Locker Street/Drag Car ?

This is my daily driver and I am wheel hoping like crazy. I have the cheapie BMR square LCA's.
Since I have a Detroit Locker I obviously am not corner carving

What would be the best LCA's to eliminate wheel hop and help me the most at the drags with slicks, AND not wear too fast since I DD this thing?

Am I asking for my cake and eat it too?

What condition are the LCA bushing in, how long have they been on the car?

Yeah if you already have control arms they should help with the wheel hop but you should check/change the bushings. Another then that would help is a GOOD adj torque arm. I see you have an edelbrock one and those aren't the best. Think about getting a UMI or BMR adj one and dial in your pinion angle

Hello
I noticed that you are having wheel hoping issues! And like mentioned above check to see what type of shape the bushings are in. And if they are shot get in touch with the manufacture and see about getting replacements. But Another option for you seeing how you already have LCA's. I would highly suggest looking into a set of Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets. To allow you to adjust your lower control arm more parallel to the surface. Which increases your traction performance and helps eliminate your wheel hop. Below is a link to show you what all we have to offer.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask! I will be more than glad to help. And right now is a great time to buy we are running a 15% off sale.
Thanks Again

I need to throw tires on the CHevelle and get it off the lift. then I can get this thing up in the air and I will inspect the bushings.

GOD Bless this Bend pak! I use it 10 times more than I thought I would!
