2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Wheelhop relief

[Ponz]

Is there a good relief for wheelhop and wrap-up that doesn't adversely effect daily driving and ride quality ? The slippery slope continues.

Ladder bars or maybe traction bars.

I need to do something myself.

Wheel hop caused by washboard roads are not going to be helped with anything but a better motorgrader man.



But hop caused by soft material like sand and snow will be eliminated with ladder or traction bars. I have tough country ladder bars on my rig and will put them on every pickup I own from here out. They are that good.



Go here for the good prices and biggest selection I have found.

New progressive leaf pack to git rid of the lift blocks and good shocks. Alcan Springs and Fox 2. 0 shocks is what I use with 305s- No hop on soft or hard terrain.

My Caltracs from CalvertRacing.com did wonders for me with absolutely no adverse impact on the ride quality.

Yep

What JPittinger said!

I have National springs, no blocks, and no Hop even with my 35 BFG's and 400hp.

My dually truck is 2 wheel drive. I tried looking at the sites recommended and other suspension sites on the internet, all I found were for 4x4 trucks. If I don't locate anything would it help if I lowered the brackets for the overload springs so that they would be in contact all the time? Ponz

"If I don't locate anything would it help if I lowered the brackets for the overload springs so that they would be in contact all the time?

You could try it but you probably won't like it. "



If you want to try it just put wooden blocks in there and take it for a short test drive.



More than likely will be very very stiff and probably eliminate wheel hop.

However you will need to replace your kidneys after a while... ... .

Aftermarket spring manufactures can make springs for anything.

You probably wont find any listings for your application posted on the internet.

I suggest you contact the spring manufactuers by phone.



Also you may have to lower your tire pressure too. those duallie tires are like solid rocks when aired up to the manufactures specs.



Custom valved shocks may also do the trick.



New stock springs may eliminate spring wrap because old spring get soft and are easliy bent beyond the specs.
