Default Wheel hop..will 5100s help?
Does anyone think that putting 5100s on the rear would help with wheel hop?

Interesting. Would this help at the track or is it more for towing? I wheel hop all through first gear at WOT.

Less than $400 for Cal tracs, less than 200 for Lakewood's. If its for the track I'd say go that way.

My 2000 lightning had zero hop issues. I always wondered what they did different on that truck.
