Wheel Hop

[RAG13]

I'm noticing that under hard acceleration from a stop, I sometimes tend to get some rear wheel hop. Is there anything that can be done to avoid this? I know this cant be good for the differential or axle. I plan on adding the Cobb Stage 1 soon and its only going to get worse.

Thank you, I was at 38 all around. Going to lower to today.

Traction bars will fix this

Air down, more even roll on the throttle, and get better tires. I have done the first two and will be doing the third once my K02s wear out.

I have the brand new KO2's on my 19 now.

Aftermarket rear springs and traction bars.

I think I'll try lowering the tire pressure first! At least that won't cost me anything. I've already sunk so much $ into a brand new truck!

I had this very bad on mine, changing out the rear to Deavers helped significantly.

Yeah, they aren't great and only get worse.

You can also do the classic truck trick and throw some concrete or sand bags in the bed.
