I have 08 regcab 4x4 6spd std. Any time this thing loses the slight bid of traction it wheel hop violently. It usually happen when hauling trailler on lose gravel. Of course I try to not let it do it. My tail pipe has broke off because of this. Any trick or mod to help fix this. I don't want to get ladder bars. But if I do what brand does anyone recommend.

 

Good shocks are first and then ladder bars. I have been eyeballing the GDP bars for some time and they are back in production.

 

Check tire pressure too.

 

Ya, I get some good wheelhop when I'm towing my trailer in the dirt and just about to get stuck... 80PSI for towing doesn't mix well with sand/dirt where I go... Last time I had to have a Tahoe yank me an my trailer to get going as I was on my way to burried. Time for some real tires.

 

yeah my '08 is terrible, snow is the worst for me like driving on washboard. dealer says i'm the only complaint they've had

 

Well we know it aint cause you wore those out...

You hit 10k yet?

 

Yes, I'm at about 10,600 now finally... After that Tahoe yanked me free, my buddy that has basically the same truck I have said to me, "I bet you'll have some different tires next time out..." He has some 285's at least.

Better tires is something I need to work on no matter how many miles....

Have to see about trading these almost new ones...

 

i had terrible wheel hop in snow and at the track. Lazarsmith bars fixed me up. Very happy.

 

I've got brand new Bilsteins and still have bad wheel hop in snow. Ladder bars may be in my future.

 

........and the dumb question is........It does this whilst locked up?
