ive seen sucessfully go to -4 but that is drag only.. i assume you have a tq arm with an adjustable pinion angle because the stock one is obvioulsly not adjustable.

with the car lowered yours is probably at +.5 or +1 right now.

more important to wheel hop is that the lca slopes closer to the ground on the axle side vs the body side.

What do you mean by > LCA slopes closer to the ground on the axle side vs. the body side?
My goal is to get rid of wheel hop total.
