Default How to stop wheel hop with Moser 9" ?

I have recently installed a Moser 9" in my car along with a set of BMR chrome moly adjustable LCA's. The lca's are set to the stock length and I do not have relocation brackets. I was out doing launches on the street(concrete and nice blacktop) and the car wants to wheel hop like a mother unless I let off. Is this party due to the fact that I have a Detroit Locker in it? Or because I still have the stock torque arm in the car? Is there anything I cna do to get rid of this wheel hop that was never there before with the 10 bolt???

I'd get some relocation brackets first and see if that helps. If not, get a torque arm. I think the relocation brackets will solve it though.

Yeah, I use relocation brackets with my Moser 9" and no wheel hop. I still even have the stock LCA's. Street tires though; with stickies I would probably have problems.

It does it with either the street tires or the 26x11.5 ET streets. It doesnt matter which one is on the car, it will still wheel hop whenever the tires try to spin. WHich relocation brackets do you guys recomend?

I made my own, but I think any of the ones with a closed back design are good.
