GEN 2 Wheel Hop/axle wrap Solutions

I've been looking at the add a leaf option too. what's the pro/cons vs. like a deaver or icon? Also what did you go with for your leaf?

I just added a leaf to my springs and that problem was solved. And was only 380 bucks at local spring shop

Adding only a single leaf made that much difference? Any change in ride height?

drag racing on both dirt and pavement with ZERO wheel hop on deaver +3s and JDM tune and bolt ons.

What bolt ons did you add?

Since doing the Cobb Stage 2 wheel hop and axle wrap are worse than ever. I want a solution. I am leaning towards SVC Trac Bars and AAL. I have had trac bars on a lifted truck before and I loved them. Will I be just as happy with the Deaver performance? Please vote in the pole and comment.

You may select 3 options in the poll.

I installed the KHC torque arm and it completely eliminated wheel hop. For a cheaper possibly equal solution that has additional benefits you can try the roadmaster active suspension. Neither will mess with ground clearance

Looked at KHC and he seems a little too proud of the torque arm. I mean, if it was the same price as the SVC traction bars, maybe I would try it. Probably still go with SVC, their bars really do not affect clearance that bad. If you have an issue where the bars are going to hit something you have gone over, I am curious how you got over it in the first place.
As far as that roadmaster crap goes, I dont think I could ever buy it because I am allergic to ********. I watched their videos, I saw the action of the spring. I fail to see how it will eliminate axle wrap, the Roadmaster spring is putting tension on the L Bracket arm that creates a moment moving the spring in the same direction which it will wrap. Their animation makes no sense. No Thank You.

Just got off the phone with SVC and they confirmed what I already knew. The Deavers would vastly improve it but I will still be able to experience it. The Traction bars will eliminate it completely. Going with the Bars and AAL

whipple IC, turbosmart BOV, SPD turbo adapters, AFE intake, AFE bladerunner cold side pipe, etc.

SVC installed Icon leaf springs, option 2 and it is gone.

yup, springs alone will eliminate wheel hop
