Ever since I put my locker in Ive been getting wheel hop...At first it was in the rain so I figuered it was normal but now that its winter on un plowed streets ( that have anything more then 5cm of snow) I get insane wheel hop.Also..the sheel hop start like right away as son as I let of the clutch. like if the rear wheels make one revolution bam..it starts.I find it odd that in snow I have this problem..So now Im not sure what do do cause its really anoying when just trying to drive around its shaking enough to make a milk shake..lol
I was goign to buy some traction bars but now Im thinking my leafs mighth be dead ans need to be changed..
Thanks

how old are your shocks?? If they are too soft & worn out, that could be a big part of the problem right there. Saggy leafs could also account for it too.
