All you guys with hard *** suspensions on the back will not cure anything by leaving it as it is. To reduce wheel hop you need to soften them if you have adjustable rears. Having hard compound (cheap) tires will do it and high air pressure will also do it. The tires I have are 180 compound and when psi is dropped to 10, there is almost no wheel hop.

Ok, I'm going to try that out tommorow. My tires are STICKY. I thought that might be adding to the problem. (NITTO555's brand NEW) but my tire pressure IS high. I keep it at 32 for everyday driving. I guess I'll drop it down to like 12 and try to do a burnout hopefully w/out the hop. I forget where the adjustables are currently at. What would be the softest setting...? 1 or 5...?

1 is softest w/ the Tokico's. I too have wheel hop. I'll be replacing my diff soon because it has a little whining. When I do, I'm going to do the "snubber mod". I run my shocks on the softest(1) and they are still plenty stiff for street use. I'm thinking of going back to stk springs, maybe cut 3/4" off.?.?

I had really bad wheel hop once when i put my tires on backwards. I couldent peel out at all.
Have you recently changed tires at all? Did you make sure that they were on the right way?
