  • Wheel Hop

    Sometimes when I try to whip out my back end I get really bad wheel hop. Could this be due to over inflated tires, or under inflated tires?

    I was told it was a bad lower control arm. I never did get new ones. I just quit trying to peel out...

      its not really a "bad" LCA..its just the factory ones kinda blow..i had the same problem with my stock suspension and open 3.08 ...i recommend some tubular or boxed LCAs ..and maybe a torque arm..i went with rksport's tubular ones..this is a simple bolt-on mod..now with those (and the rest of my setup) i can pretty much burn em as long as i want

        same here, i had bad a&& case of wheelhop, i put on a pair of lakewood lower control arms, and it was totally gone. the factory ones are made out of cheap flexible steel, and are structurally not very solid, being just a c-channel shape, just pick up a pair of LCA's from whatever brand you prefer, and i guarantee it will disappear. its the simplest installation too, just two bolts for each control arm pop off the old ones and stick on the new ones. btw.. its got nothing to do with over or under inflated tires.

          i recommend lower control arms and relocation brackets, the side effect is better traction
