when one tire grabs more than the other tire itl kinda twist the leaf springs, and then it will cause the rear end to hop. it happened to me alot when i would do burnouts down the road.

But if you clamp down the overload springs it will help a little. it keeps the leaf springs from twisting, and it will give you a little better launch.

oh yeah i just rememberd a little mod courtesy of big daddy

one thing when getting the driver side tube out try not to rub it on the power steering lines, they are very close as is, and getting the booger out without hitting something is nearly impossible.

ima go try it out since my tubes are out of the truck anyway
