so where are you from?

if i'm reading correctly it sounds like you need some stickier tires and possibly new shocks and lower control arms. your english seems to be a little choppy so i apologize if i'm not understanding you entirely.

Wheel hop is usually caused by poor suspension geometry and failed or low quality parts.

Get some adjustable lower control arms, some weld-in lower control arm relocation brackets, and some new shocks and you should be golden.

I think what you need to do is #1- Lay off the sauce or meth whichever you are on before you access the internet.
#2- Quit torque breaking on gravel roads.
#3- SPELL CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This plus make sure your tire pressure is good and even on both sides. If you dont get that wheel hop
under control say good bye to mr 10 bolt

At 150k miles I'd start with some new rear shocks and inspect the rear lower control arm bushings (replace if rotted/cracked). That's probably all you need to prevent wheel hop (the condition you're describing) at stock-ish power levels. May want to check the torque arm bushing as well.

If the car has been lowered, then you should look at relocation brackets for the rear lower control arms. Otherwise, I would not worry about that at this time.
