not sure if I’m posting in the right place. Feel free to move if needed.

I have a 4wd crew cab. Factory front suspension and 2” drop springs in the rear.

I get some pretty bad wheel hop at the track and on the street when I lose traction.

Anyway to solve this?

All you need is Illicits brackets,they bring the rear suspensions geometery back to where it'll plant the tires. The Core arms are nice,but not needed if you do the relocation kit. It depends on how big your budget is. None of this stuff is cheap,and if you can only afford one,do the relocation brackets,the others are just band-aids. Talk to Gary's Hemi,he spent a ****load of money on rear suspension components fighting wheelhop and sway,then finally broke down and bought the relocation brackets,and they cured all his issues. My truck had killer wheelhop and after springing for Illicits relocation brackets,the truck plants the tires with no wheelhop,and I've ran it up to 150 mph with absolutely no handling issues

If you get the Core there is a coupon code in a thread in the "lifted" section. I think the thread is titled "Core" something---I think it's 5% off. I'm also thinking about going this route for my wheel hop.
