Axle hop explaination and a cheap cure

[MTF]

Ok, I guess it's a secret or you don't know that part number.

Thanks anyway I'll do my own leg work.

MTF? There is no secret

There is no part number like buying spark plugs. You call a spring shop and say the size and they quote you because all springs like this come in a bulk non direct fit length and have to be cut to size.

Call me strange, but I can't for the life of me figure out why 3 replies on a computer is easier than one phone call lol.

Got it, went to the spring shop my crane company uses for their F series fleet 150 to 650 about 12 of them.
He said the same thing, I showed your thread him and he said no problem, it's a standard .499 spring, he show me the rack with about 100 of them.
I told him I do not want to change the ride height, I just want stop to the wheel hop.
Again no problem, he well arch the .499 to match the springs, punch all holes reinstall all clips ,clamps, new hardware and new teflon shims. And insure same ride height.

All for $350 and will take a half a day. Now this is my price since I work for the crane company otherwise $450 plus tax.

I will go for the standard Nationals (from RPG) with the Fox stage 4 all around and middle perch some time down the road, when I have an extra $9,500 for everything.

Brakes first!!!

Again a real Thank You AlbertaRaptor for your thread!!!

I can tell you guys that my truck launches like a new Mustang and I can do a brake stand without fear. When you are doing a brake stand and let off the brake it leaves a solid 20 foot black mark with zero hop.

Quite the rush I might add

Now that's a vid I'd like to see!

Hell yeah, lets see it Jeff! I'm not doubting you at all, but claims like that need to be shown, not said!

Sweet!

But is that pavement? Kind of looks a little loose.

It's pavement. It was just a bit of stones on the edge of the road

Pretty awesome. I love simple fixes like this.

Do you guys get much opportunity to play in the soft stuff? Sand or silt? That's one big time problem for the stock guys in and around where I spend time; get them in the sand and you can see the humps in the sand where the wheels were hopping at speed up and down. The tracks left literally look like a 3 ton snake slithered by. I'd be really interested to see a vid of your solution running in a wash, or similar.
