Default Wheel hop

I just got done installing a Yank 3600 stall (plus break in period.) I went out to a back road and did a test on it spinning through 1st gear every thing is fine, once it hits second gear it starts hopping really really bad (this is just going WOT no braking.) Tires are Nitto 555 extremes, all I have for being lowered is the heater hose mod. idk if LCA relocation Brackets would help or if maybe I need sub-frame connecters?

SFC's help in general. We find wheel hop is reduced mostly by improving the lower control arm and also by strengthening the torque arm. Relocation brackets tend to help forward traction after you rid the car of wheel hop.

We also suggest lower control arms and relocation brackets to address wheel-hop. The pairing of these two items tend to clean things up instantly and can be bolted on in your driveway with simple hand tool and a small cut to the emergency brake cable bracket.
