Wheel hop need help

Hi,

I have a 93 W250 reg cab long box 5sp lifted 6" with severe wheel hop/pinion rotation

Please see youtube video



I wanto to change the lift to better components but still be able to run 37" rubber.

Any help would be appreciated.

PS: I have since changed the ubolts and torqued them to 120ft lbs, it helped a bit but hasnt cured it. It has all new motor mounts and trans mouts

Traction bars or if you want a little smaller package traction bar look into caltracs (poor mans 4 link). Only poblem with caltracs is they hang below the axle line a decent amount, not the best for a 4wd.

I run caltracs on my street/strip car, they work very well.

drop hangers will help too. Those stock lift blocks are only making things worse.

Find another way to get lift that doesn't involve lift blocks between axle and springs.

Caltracs or LazarSmith traction bars would help tons.
