Default Massive wheel hop
i just got new rims and tires put on and i had wheel hop before but now it is just outrageous. what is the best way to reduce wheel hop. i was thinking of getting torque arm and lower control arms. any ideas?

Did you have wheel hop with after market LCA's and the addition of the TA solved the problem? I still get wheel hop on hard shifts and was curious as to how much a TA would help.

Sorry, not to
