Greetings to all - Open to suggestions regarding "wheel hop".  This is my 64 F100 with bone stock suspension.   I don't race or drive it agressively. I would estimate no less than 250HP, , T5 trans and 3.5 in the rear.  If being a little spirited while taking off or even slowly pushing it to the floor in 1st, back wheel(s) will brake loose but instead of just a nice screaming burnout, an awful case of wheel bounce takes place which is hell on the drivetrain.   Would a pair of simple traction bars be the cure for this?  I have no issues at all http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/uploads/images/0251688a-0f8b-47f8-9e2b-05d5.jpgwith the suspension otherwise, Thanks, JEFF.....
