Default full suspension.. and still wheelhop!!

how do i fix this?

i have: Billingsley/Strange 12 way adjustable shocks on full soft, eibach drag launch springs, solid lower control arms, Spohn center mount torque arm, 28 inch tall back tires, Ford 9 inch with spool and 4.30's

pinion angle is set at -3 degrees

would relocation brackets help even though i have not lowered it any?

i'm SOOOOO lost on this

Yes. You should have gone with relocation brackets before spending all of that money on a torque arm Also check your pinion angle on the torque arm, sometimes thats also the case.

i'd get the relocation brackets as well...however i don't see why you would still be getting wheel hop with all the stuff you have done already..what kind of tires/rims are you running...18's get bad wheel hop

You need to adjust the shocks stiffer. Full soft allows vertical axle movement.
