Wink need zl1 weight reduction/suspension work

Have a new 2014 zl1.. pretty impressive stock.. But wheel hops bad and of course traction is a issue.. want to lighten up the rear end.. mAybe do 9" rear swap. With straight axle to save weight and help traction. And do a 15" wheel conversion kit. Not sure where to get this. Want also to get a light and strong torque arm..lcas.. all the goodies.. wanting any info of anyone using this stuff.. and what wheels are being used.. I weighed my stock zl1 black rims and tires.. fronts are 60 lbs each.. rears are 62.5 lbs each.. Looking to try find black 15s and some front skinnies.. But still look.good.

Moser makes a solid axle kit now, but it will still need work and welding done at a chassis shop.

You can clear a 17" skinny over those awesome brakes u have now out front. A solid axle conversion would be sweet.
