Wheel hop
Best way to get rid of the wheel hop. I have the stock rear-end and shocks and springs, and want to know which shocks I should use to eliminate the wheel hop. I'm not going to be on the strip much, it's a daily driver but every now and then I have to show those mustangs and ricers what's up.

I'd have to say upgrade your torque arm. I haven't gotten this far yet but it does help from what I hear. You could always throw a lower set of gears in there that way it'll just spin the tires haha. I have no wheel hop at all. It's either traction (under half throttle) or no traction

Hello
I noticed that you are having wheel hoping issues. And I just wanted to suggest going with a new set of lower control arms and a set of lower control arm relocation brackets. The lower control arms will replace a the factory stamped pieces and and the relocation brackets will allow you to apply the power to the ground. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has too offer.

How many miles are on the factory shocks?
This is the first item I would recommend looking at then possibly what kind of condition the bushings are in the lower control arms and so on...
