But?Maybe I should reword it.... I never had wheel hop on mine so I really couldn't tell you for sure, but traction bars are supposed to eliminate wheel hop. Maybe someone else will chime in and help out.

I see, thanks for clarifying.. I don't understand how i can have wheel hop with 02 leafs when my 02 lightning didn't have wheel hop..

I wonder if my leafs are wrapping and I'm just feeling the U joint...

Did the leafs eliminate the vibration?

Nope. The vibration didn't change a bit... Now I'm certain the driveshaft is out of balance.. I'm also looking for a local shop that can remove and balance my driveshaft...

So what did the Svt dealerships finally say to you about this? Maybe this is your secret for such low ET's. j/k

Haha! The dealers say its normal road vibration... which most of it is, but there is a pulsating affect also... With the new leaf springs the road vibration has reduced but the pulsating is the same...
