Default Dragbag assist?

Does anyone runs these, just wondering if this might help control wheel hop?

i know that g body guys swear by them in their RR spring, for traction. Although too much preload can give you wheel hop...

Just looking for a solution to help cure it, i did meet someone that runs them in his F body & he said it help alot, but once he installed the DRs the wheel hop was gone, now he just has the RR in & still no problems.

Now when you say too much preload, would this be in the LCA location? Because with the stock 10 bolt & no LCA relo brackets, it still had wheel hop pretty bad, now with the 9" & the bars in the middle hole its still there, but traction is great, only coming out of the water box as its starting to hook it chatters. Running any kind of well hooking tire it has a fit at the track, on the street its hardly even there.

I have the dual bag set-up and get wheel hop if I run with them deflated. I've gotten my best results with 5psi on the driver's side and 27psi on passenger side.
