I have a 1990 f150 ext cab lariat 4x4 I have put a 466 in it with a zf5 behind it. 10.2:1 compression, ported iron D0VE heads, headers, intake, cam all the fun stuff...I have horrible wheel hop can't even get into it until about halfway thru 3rd gear even when wet. Can't stand not being able to put the power to the ground without destroying u joints. Truck has 3 in body lift and 3-4 in coil springs in front to level it. Running 33" bfg km2s.

It is my daily driver.

I am looking to prevent wheel hop been looking at ladder bars with a shackle at the frame to prevent binding. In order to do this I will have to disconnect rear sway bar and may have to relocate shock mounts. My leaf springs are in good shape I don't think new ones will prevent enough wheel hop to justify throwing money at new ones.

Any ideas from anyone who has experience with wheel hop prevention or with ladder bars on the street will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

How is your rear lift done? Blocks?

No lift blocks other than the stock ones with the bump stop made into them.

Looks like a bunch made for your truck, one of the first up on search:

Really if you don't have blocks acting as levers against the springs, and your springs are right, then I think you are right to look into these kind of bars. Rear sway bar--nice, but is this, as HRM put it, "...a G machine...."?
