Deavers didn't fix my axle hop. Just broke 2nd drive shaft:(

What you need is to install a two link. Those of us in off road racing have been using it on Deavers and Nationals for years. Not only will you stop the wheel hop completely but the truck will have a much better forward bite and it improves the handling as well. The two link cycles with the suspension and you don't lose any travel at all. I have this type of set up on my Bronco prerunner and the difference with and without is night and day.

Here is a link to an example of what I am talking about.

That AutoFab setup is what I plan on using on my old 92 F150

John at Auto Fab knows his stuff. He was bending ranger front I beams a long time ago.

Keeping the proper suspension cycle is VERY important, if you do not understand this, pay someone that does. Otherwise things will break.

That's a fantastic idea. Thanks for the input. I will surely look into that as soon as I get the truck back from ford. I put the third driveshaft in a couple days ago and found out that when it broke it also destroyed my tranny. Fords going to let me know Tuesday if it will be covered under warranty. I highly doubt that they will cover it due to the long list of mods on the truck. Hopefully, they won't charge too much. This has been an absolute nightmare. I've owned the truck for 7 months and it has been in the shop for 3 of those months. I wish I had of just left it stock. I'm stuck driving my camaro around, scraping in and out of every parking lot and bottoming out on every speed bump. I'm getting raptor withdrawals. My camaro is has a ton of mods pushing 650 hp and has been flawless since it came out of the shop. Wish I could say the same for my raptor. I'll keep you all posted as to what I decide to do in order fix this problem. The guys at outlaw that built the truck haven't offered up any ideas on what's wrong, the just want to see it and go for a test ride. I don't see what good that will do. If I try and show them the wheel hop, I'll just end up with another broken driveshaft. I'm going to ask them about this 2 link set up next week. The guys at RPG had Had a couple good ideas. I'll give outlaw a chance to fix it first since they built it. I'm just hoping ford leaves some money in my budget after this whole tranny incident is over.

This is the set up I have on my 92 Bronco pretty straight forward & gets the job done. It hasn't eliminated breaking springs completely but 4 to 5 years of hammering between having to replace them is to be expected given their abuse.

Considering this is probably a pavement queen, the solution is pretty simple. Go to Autozone. Buy 4 leaf spring clamps. From the front leaf perch, go back 1/3 of the way and install the clamp. Now go another 1/3 and install the other one. You should have front perch, clamp 1/3 back, clamp 2/3 back, then the axle.

This is an old drag racer trick. I used it A LOT when I used to street race. "Hey look I don't even have traction bars!"

I have a supercharged 6.2 with headers and a Hennessy tune. I'm running the +2 deavers with 37" nitro mud tires. I broke the stock drive shaft so I replaced it with a Custom carbon fiber drive shaft from pstds. Just broke that one last night. I'll be calling outlaw first thing in the morning to see if they can come up with a solution for me. I would really like to pin the throttle off the start without breaking the truck. What good is 600hp when you can't use it? I thought I should post on here to see if anyone on here had any ideas on how permanently get rid of the wheel hop. Traction bars are the obvious fix but I'm really not interested in losing travel. There has got to be a better way to keep that damn rear end from twisting.
