Exclamation New Suspension and still getting wheel hop!!

I just put on my new torque arm, panhard bar, LCAs & brackets, and sub frames from BMR and I am still getting wheel hop! We installed the suspension on a frame lift, and then move it over to a drive on lift and tightened everything up. My pinion angle is sitting right now at -4, and my LCA's are on the bottom hole of the brakets. I have ordered a moser 12 bolt and will install it next weekend, but I am wondering if I will still have the same problem. Also I am getting more rattle noise from the rear end, but I am pretty sure thats from the stiffer suspension. Anybody know why Im still getting wheel hop?

Thanx

One thing to note....the LCA relocation brackets are different for the Moser 12 bolt then the stk rear I think.

My friend had the same problem. We replaced the passenger's side rear shock. No more wheel hop.

Yea, I have stock springs and shocks, and currently I do not have the 12 bolt in yet. But it will be comming soon.

a torque arm will make a big difference in hop also. after the shocks though.

ever look into HOLE SHOT BAGS?????? take a look i installed a couple in high power cars and the make alot of difference. also with wheel hop shocks and torque arms are a big player, check and replace as needed. the shock should feel warm after driving for about 10-15 min.

Ok cool, ill reset my pinion angle to a -1 and then see what difference it makes, I think also I am going to wait and see what the 12 bolt does. Thanks for all the posts guys.
