thanks for the input kinda funny they moved this thread here i wanted to here what the ppl in my area had to say but o well...The only reason i would consider getting the adjustables is because ive heard about centering wheels but i thought that had more to do with a panhard bar??

Relocation brackets are what you are going to be looking for to help eliminate wheel hop. We offer a bolt on version(CAB002) and a weld on version(CAB001). They can both be found here http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodyDrivetrain.htm The next thing would be set of lower control arms. I would recommend the standard non adjustable lower for your application(TCA001) which can be found here http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodySuspension.htm The only reason we recommend using the adjustable lower control arm would be to fit a larger tire 28" or taller. Let me know if you have any questions regarding our products.

I would recommend a set of control arms and control relocation brackets as the step in eliminating wheel hop. Both items are very inexpensive and offer tremendous results. Also keep in mind wheel is terrible for the stock rear end and is a contributor to its failure!
If you have any questions please ask. Thank you!

Don't mean to hijack, but I'm in the same boat as Dshag.
I have a set of BMR boxed lca's and was wondering should I get some relo. brackets before I install them or would the lca's cure the wheelhop alone.
