The cure for wheel hop is simply to let up a touch on the left pedal.
The bushings don't help but it is the design of the suspension that causes this. People on the power wagon forum have been complaining about it ever since they switched from leaf springs. I don't have many issues in 2wd but in 4wd if you are in any kind of deep snow the whole truck tries to shake itself apart.You guys getting wheel hop while the bed is empty? Its probably mostly due to the crappy rubber bushings in the rear control arms. I noticed the other day driving the work truck that when coming to a complete stop the truck bounces back and forth. Kinda like the axles have stopped moving, but the truck is bouncing back and forth in the rubber bushings. Our jeeps do it too. Its just an odd feeling.
Suspension geometry might also contribute a bit, but I doubt it. I need to measure the work truck to see how much anti-squat is in the stock suspension.
